does anyone own a skyminer? how do they work exactly and why are they profitable?

Yep. There's 75m coins that need to come out over the next 15 yrs. That's 5m a year. At the beginning there's only gonna be 6000 miners. Say that's the case for 3 months. 1.25m/6000 =2000 SKY a miner in 3 months. That's not the exact numbers as some will contribute more bandwidth than others so they'll get a bigger cut.

Also, kind of like Neon gas, there are skycoin hours which accrue to skyminer nodes as rewards for processing network
traffic.

So you can't just get some Raspberry Pi's and attach to the rest of the nodes unless you get in the first 6000?

They don't want to have to be trouble shooting or have nodes dropping out early on so initially it'll be whitelisted miners only, then whitelisted designs. I'd at least go for orange pi primes rather than rasp pis to be on it earlier. You'll need an open wrt router and a 100W power supply unit too and some switches. You'll be better off getting design specifics off skywug then here. I just bought one of the official ones as i couldn't be fucked with ordering components and wanting the big OTC purchase of sky.
