Yup, the expectation from a huge portion of embedded developers is a complete package of tools where if it doesn't exist in the GUI, it doesn't exist. See here for an example of that attitude (relating to rust): https://www.reddit.com/r/embedded/comments/pwkr5w/writing_embedded_firmware_using_rust/hekiu7t/ https://www.reddit.com/r/embedded/comments/pwkr5w/writing_em... (I think this attitude is one of the ways/reasons that embedded is a bit of a ghetto in the software development world. It also makes it far more difficult to have a codebase which supports multiple platforms)

Maybe, but I suspect it's mostly just a function of vastly fewer programmers doing embedded than "standard" programming. One of the reasons why I have been banging on chip companies to support VSCode is solely that. The total amount a chip company is willing to spend on software is less than a rounding error in the budget of any Microsoft division. The only thing that will get embedded out of the ghetto is to ride the coattails of the mainstream--nowadays that's pretty much VSCode and clang/gcc.
