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.
