You could be right but thats a big gap between "could likely do well selling..." and actually having a market and reliable customers.
What if thats not their business model? What if it requires hiring or finding a dedicated ARM developer? What about security? If a zero day comes out now what you have (3) different architectures to support and test. Even if they offered it as a supported solution would most of the people complaining fund the work through support. Probably not, because they expect the software to just "work" for them, for free.
I looked through the forum on one of the first ARM[1] posts and as expected (2) pages in and it becomes a tech support thread for people who want to try the latest but be handed the answers. For a project where they document[2] the development workflow, architecture, and environment its a bit difficult to understand the complaints when its opensource. Clone the repo and get to work.
