Worst case, they should document what the installer classes do so anyone can do it, regardless of tool. Better yet, they can provide merge modules, .wixlibs, or WiX extensions for strongly-typed authoring. Best of all, they can work with the WiX team to ship them in the box. Some teams already do some of it, but it's driven by customer demand. If they don't hear from customers that it's an issue, they're going to (logically) do the simplest thing.
