How so? I have a product that you can buy that runs on an ESP32S3[1]. They work very well and you can even do OTA updates. Even my competitor uses an ESP32 :)

Did you need to go through CE certification to get your product on the market?

I have some ESP-based hardware ideas of my own (which include custom PCBs) but the CE certification is prohibitively expensive..

peripherals are a dumpster fire. I usually have to resort to bit-bang if i want to use the peripherals in a slightly different way than intended. Way easier than figuring out all the "drivers" thing to see if it's actually possible. Also, the couldn't make a decent ADC if their life depended on that. I use them for projects that require radio and GPIO, or slow PWM, or low accuracy ADC, or screens (but only with the preapproved screen controllers)
