part of the reason for doing a open/DIY SSD would be to shame the manufacturers of the commercial ones into improving them.

creating a linux specific software only item won't do that (and because the hardware would then be linux-only it would be more expensive due to the limited production run)

it's also hard to test how a linux software solution would work for a windows or mac access pattern.
