Isn't endianness either little or selectable on most (if not all) microcontrollers these days? For example https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF52832_PS_v1.

Isn't endianness either little or selectable on most (if not all) microcontrollers these days? For example https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF52832_PS_v1.3.pdf https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF52832_PS_v1.3.pdf is little endian. Considering that little endian is objectively better for more types of data structures than big endian is [1], one would expect things to eventually converge on little endian (barring the entrenched big endian network protocols that hold everything back). Building for the eventuality of little endian would make more sense in a modern format.
