That is where you'll find developers and dev shops that respect coding without frameworks (because the platform is so new there are none) or without the popular, latest dev tool toys. Working in such a shop is often supremely satisfying because your job is to make that new platform conform to modern development standards. A job an experienced game developer does on their own anyway.
