Well... isn't that what their customers are paying them for?

Exactly. If PlatformIO had enough paying customers who needed support for this chip, they would probably want to add support for it themselves.

It's the non-paying "customers" who are the problem here, expecting PlatformIO to grow in ways that the core team sees as unsustainable.
