But I have a bq e5 and I have just understood from previous mails that

Is there any good reason why this will not be implemented on bq terminals?
Yes. Because it depends on both hardware and driver support, and the
implementation has to be built on top.
So first, the developers are working to implement the feature, make it
reliable and stable, and then test it. By focusing on just one hardware
platform, they can focus their energy on getting it working in the first
place.
Then, once the feature exists and works well, they can begin to
investigate whether it's even *possible* on other kernels and hardware.
That will be extra work for each combination, although it might be
easier on some than on others. This has been discussed on on the list
before. :)
But remember, your phone was sold to you with the promise that it does
not connect to external screens. It's always important to buy devices
and software for the features they have today, not on promises of
features that might be to come. (This is advice I've always given to my
clients.)
The good news is that last I heard, adding support looks hopeful. But
they'll find out when they start on that journey.
