If I'm remembering correctly, I'm pretty sure the Vault provider for Terraform was originally contributed by an outside company rather than inside HashiCorp. My guess would be that it has encountered what seems to be a common fate for software that doesn't cleanly fit into the org chart: HashiCorp can't decide whether the Vault team or the Terraform team ought to own it, and therefore effectively nobody owns it, and so it falls behind.
Pretty sure that's the same problem with CloudFormation, albeit at a different scale: these service teams are providing APIs for this stuff already, so do they really want to spend time writing another layer of API on top? Ideally yes, but when you have deadlines you've gotta prioritize.
