Why do you keep talking about SBCs?  We're talking about microcontrollers, in particular 32-bit devices that run at 10s to 100s of MHz and have tens of kilobytes to a few megabytes of program memory, and less than that of RAM.  Far from being an SBC, such boards may be as simple as the processor, a crystal and the necessary bypass caps.  Everything else is header pins.

And these micros continue to have those memory-mapped hardware registers, and those of us who program these chips deal with those registers all the time.
