How are those relevant in our context?
Most of those "constrained embedded devices" (from smartphones to IoT and set top boxes) don't run terminals and editors anyway. And those that do belong to a niche, and those people can install whatever they want, be it nano, micro or whatever fits.
If you're concerned about the programmers of those "constrained embedded devices", that might want to ssh and edit something on them, then those programmers don't use nano anyway, so this doesn't concern them either.
