You’d have to be an established business to even get a quote from them; I’ll keep trying.

I assume Shearwater's stance is more like "zero public announcement so far" rather than "zero interest". I have specifically asked several SW people and always gotten silence rather than "no". But beyond that I have no further inside information. There are many challenges beyond the engineering that could delay (but not necessarily stop) a company like SW doing this. Deals between companies, mitigating legal and reputation risk, extensive testing and certification all take time to manage.
And anyway, Shearwater's strength has never been about first mover advantage on new tech, but rather developing the very best implementation of things.
