Or difficult to use (i.e. not documented), or on the road to going
away, or poorly implemented in the first place, or Apple just doesn't
want to support that SPI long term, or there is not time to clean the
framework, document it, test it, etc.
Well, then OpenSource them... they'll get supported and help
