You're right that packet accelerators complicate things a bit. I'm not

actually *has* to be true, but it's harder to do a proof of concept
since the barrier to entry for hardware development is higher. So I
doubt anything is likely to happen here unless someone with the
resources to do hardware development steps up.
The people with hardware experience want to do PIE, because it lends
itself better for implementation in existing hardware, or hardware with
small modification.
Sometimes it's better to accept non-perfect more easily implementable
solutions that solves most of the problem space, instead of aiming for the
"perfect one" and getting nothing.
