I find it unfortunate. But it also can be difficult and time
consuming to reimplement an assembler for those back ends, so I
can understand why it isn't a priority.
You know that it is not likely to ever be a priority. That's what
will happen: lots of code will be written, using the
peculiarities of each implementation. And then nobody will want
to change the status quo becase "it will break lots of code".
