Wouldn't it be great if feathers, PMODs, etc. all used ROS2 to provide publish/subscribe and services so that anything could "just work"?

Feathers are primarily microcontrollers--Atmel AVR, ARM Cortex M0/M4, ESP32, etc. Stuff with kilobytes of memory and low megahertz of speed. None of them can run ROS or any Linux-based OS/RTOS hybrid.

micro-ROS[1] is an option for resource constrained devices.

ROS2 isn’t exactly lightweight.
