Yep, very much this. I don't bother looking to them for anything in this space because the hostility they show towards general Linux support appears to be rooted in principle and appears to be very much deliberate. It almost feels like Linux support would run counter to how they want their processors to be used.

Whether this is true or not, it's pretty safe to assume anything based on their stuff is not for me.

It's the usual issue with Qualcomm SoCs being designed as bespoke embedded platforms as opposed to standard general-purpose compute. So Linux support for these chips ends up being heavily vendor specific, i.e. it's not just Qualcomm it's also the platform OEMs.
