I think it's also a governance problem. The relative inability to program within itself reduces the number of bricked devices. A bricked device either becomes a cost to the manufacturer, a cost to the consumer, or can be quickly reflashed by the consumer. Not only does reflashing likely require a second device to do so, but it also works against the locked secure bootloader concept which is such a popular (albeit controversial) feature to keep these ecosystems healthy. The days when you could compile an exe without any kind of signing and distribute it with nobody getting a warning about an unknown developer were the days when everyone was bluescreening monthly; hardly a coincidence.
