they should make sound a module, then they could offer a high-end option with something like an akm ak4490 and users could go legacy free if they want

We considered it! Early in architecture, we had the CODEC on the headphone jack daughterboard instead of on the mainboard. It introduced a bunch of interface complexity, so we dropped that. In retrospect, it would have prepared us well for this silicon crunch though.
