The complexity of developing professional firmware is one the main tools chip companies have against their customers switching chips. So they won't go invest a lot of money explicitly against this goal.

The complexity of any embedded software and IC is enough as lock in.

It doesn't justify why they make it so hard to set an IO pin or to load a program on their chips.
