Sure, and you think that those shops are going to slow down their development process to fit the needs of a distribution? We talk about the IoT dumpster fire because those shops do nothing in the way of update automation - they throw the code over the fence and it's done. In as far as they interact with distributions at all, it's because they choose an ancient and out-of-date baseline (I've been offered Ubuntu 6.10 recently as the "supported" distribution by an IoT SoC design firm), and expect that we'll agree that because it's Linux, it's secure.
