This is what they tell us for decades. You can just disable parts of an SoC if no driver is available. This is just an architectural decision Google is not willing to address.
And ARM reference designs from a handful of manufacturers are not that different.

So you want Google to ship updates where parts of the hardware just stop working? That sounds fucking awful, no thanks.
And yes ARM's ecosystem has largely still not standardized on self-discover or self-configuration because they have no incentive to. They just hardcode whatever configuration they need and call it a day.
