I think most customers that have or would buy SDI routers also buy bigger switchers so from that point of view it would not make sense to not support this on the cheaper switchers. The audio capabilities of the ATEM switchers are already below par comparable to other brands so it would be a mistake to not support this over the entire product line.
While we're talking about it, I really don't understand why updates are not released for all products within a product line at the same time. First of all it's very confusing to customers that they download a newer software version but it will not update their switcher even when it's on a lower version because the update does not contains no updates for their model. I also don't understand why not all models have the same features. E.g. why do older models switchers support borders around SuperSource boxes but newer models not anymore. I can't believe it's a hardware limitation.
Coming from a software background I have very little faith in the software department of BMD. The lack of updates, the lack of fixes for very obvious bugs, the way updates are released... it all gives me very little confidence to be honest. I would really love to be hired as manager of the software department and make some changes.
