I don't care if it doesn't.
I guess most ot the code is written in C or C++ and then it should be no problem to compile them for micro controller. If real time tasks are implemented as functions called regularly porting should be simple. I guess there are some hardware abstraction since g-code interpreter, emcmot, pid work with different hardware and here some work would be required on micro controller. We do not have to care about commercial world because nobody pay for it anyway.
