No. Mini-itx board are always much higher in price. The engineering is more difficult and it's just not that popular a format.
I honestly don't see the point for this format. Either go all the way to ATX, or just go mini-ITX. This mid-size isn't that useful. Too big to be small, and too limited in slots.

Well you are entitled to your opinion. In the rest of the planet, uATX is the most common format. Mini-itx chassis limit cooling options, memory slots, number of drives etc. Mini-itx is only useful for small form factor builds, larger GPU's won't fit, some larger PSU are too long to fit. 2 memory slots at most..uATX has 2 on value boards and 4 on more premium board. ITX chassis are more expensive and air flow is more of an issue. There are exceptions like the Thermaltake 100, Phantek 200a, etc. I'm actually building 50 units right now on this board. Case is
Rosewill FBM-X2-400-HELIX $50 w/ PSU, AMD Ryzen 5 7600 w/ fan ($211), Crucial 16 GB (2x 8gb) $40, MSI Spatium 500 GB NVME 4, DDR5 4800 $32, Windows 11 Pro. Perfect office workstation for the next 3-5 years minimum and possibly longer. I'll bundle with dual 24" monitors, keyboard and mouse and sell to my clients for $1000. I make $300 on the package including 3 year warranty and then optionally add my Managed Services package. Plenty of room to offer options. For clients who have space limitations I do mini-ITX but it definitely costs more. At least $150-$200 more for same components. Case = In-Win Case BL631.FF300TB3F mATX Slim Desktop 300W, No A620 ITX yet, may not be. That means B650 @$200+. I offer the same system bundle with i5-13500 at same price.

Curious to pair a budget board like this with a 7800X3D who doesn't need much power but still demolishes games.
