    Tbf, these are slightly different things, the one in the OP hooks up to the standard power “rails” on a breadboard. You don’t need to buy a special one with markings specific to a pi or Arduino (or just learn the pin outs). OP’s also has the benefit of not taking up half a breadboard like your example.

    Not saying more similar things don’t exist, but for the example you’ve given I think there’s significant enough differences for them to have distinct use cases.

    Agree with what another comment said though in that it would be good to select for higher voltage than 5V.
