Haha, no: It's because if you put an MMU in a microcontroller it's not a microcontroller anymore! That makes it an "application processor" of which there are many tens of thousands to choose from these days. There&#x27

On the developer side I see the opposite: End users that are complaining can now deal with problem themselves without having to pester (or even find) the developer. Anything that amounts to less pestering of developers is (probably) a good

You don't know if they ESD protection or not. There are loads of tiny little ESD protection ICs/diodes that can handle many inputs. Just put them very close to the connectors and you should be good to go from an ESD perspective.
