It's about building a device that has a set task in life, and nothing is as important as that one task. Whether that's running on an i7 or an M3 is irrelevant. For a system to acquire and process sensor data, record your favorite TV shows, or guide a missile, there's no need for a full fledged bash shell interpreter. It just needs a bit of plumbing to get the application up and running, and that's about it. Busybox is for systems like that. For these systems, anything more is overkill, and will waste resources and increase the boot time.
