You can argue the same for any PC (although saying that, I've not got a mouse or keyboard connected to my Pi).
Any x86 device, particularly a NUC, will have similar - and generally more expensive - hidden costs (DDR3 SODIMM RAM, SDD/HDD, keyboard, mouse). But unlike the Pi, you're less likely to have these required components to hand in your "spares" drawer - DDR3 SODIMM RAM, 2.5" [SH]DD or even mSATA/mini-PCI Express? Oh yeah, everyone has those kinds of spares in a drawer (granted I do happen to have 7 x 2GB DDR3 SODIMMs lying around from a previous project, but I don't think that's particularly normal!)
