To go down the car analogy rabbit hole, this is not like using obsolete technology (wagon wheels) but instead having a car that uses a completely non-standard size of tires and a bolt pattern that no other manufacturer uses so you need to get your rims custom made.
You see this sort of engineering all the time. Why does that device you just got use a non-standard power plug? What is it doing that's so special that any of the half-dozen standard types wouldn't work?
When you go and custom make something, you better have a good reason for it.
