I think it may be the *perceived* lack of interest.

Unlike SC where it is relatively easy for anybody to change and find
bugs. The SBC is a full Linux system and the WiFi problem is probably a
kernel / driver level with the driver being supplied by a vendor. AFAICT
there are only one or two development guys who deal with that
specialised area of SBC and they are very busy.  

There will be two issues
(i) reproducing the bug 
(ii) liaise with vendor to get driver changes and vendors are not
always that responsive as they have their own QA procedures.

Then when a promising solution is found an SBC release has to be
prepared. As a result of a problematic SBC firmeware release there is
an intensive QA done even for betas.

So as I see it, changes/fixes to the SBC will always be slower to
appear compared to changes/fixes to SC.
