Depends on how you define suitable. For straight up hard-switched boost/buck I would agree. Try implementing something like phase-shift modulation to get 'free' ZVS soft-switching (lower EMI and higher efficiency) and I will disagree. The microcontroller horsepower typically isn't lacking but the timer/pwm generators they use usually are. It doesn't take much of a change to build a truly universal pwm generator timer but we have to implement them in small fpgas. FWIW, we can payoff a $5 fpga in heatsink and power silicon savings.
