Not only that ( what Gerald says above ) K.I.S.S comes into play here big time. If you actually could implement all these cool features for free hardware wise. At some point you're going to overwhelm yourself trying to make all this work. Which is to say, maybe the board never makes it to the public, or does make it to the public but at a much later date. Or maybe the hardware is glitchy, prone to crashing, etc.
