no, it is just a basic thing on software economics and if in case you
had a tiny idea about the amount of work needed to do what you suggest
you would agree. it is very simple, the effort must be worth, because
such thing will require thousands and thousands of man-hours be done and
hence increase the cost of the product, not to mention that with all
posible combinations of software packages is almost **impossible** to
ensure that it will work!!
