I disagree. It makes a big difference: creating a writing system is not a simple as it seems and it's a task that require quite a lot of work, especially when there is huge dialectal variations in-between dialects. When a system already exist it means there is already a bunch of tools available such as dictionaries, input method[1], a corpus of texts even if small or medium, including text books. That can be used both for AI and teaching. This make the task way less daunting than doing everything from scratch. In case of Taiwanese, there is a small but existing corpus of literature, as a 5 seconds Google/Wikipedia search shows[2][3].
