@Spoki, I feel Espruino listens to a different drum beat... as many other alike enterprises do too - and that is: get a thing done as small as possible and as a component to integrate/combine with alike component as easy as possible. This promises the largest (potential) clientele - for function and for (affordable) price. The same goes for the gazillion sensor (chip) solutions...
'We' - the Pico Kickstarter backer community - had the opportunity to choose larger or smaller... and smaller was the answer, hence the 0.05" pitch. And look how beautiful a Pico looks with an ESP8266! ...and the little shim makes it happen.
Therefore, I think optimize an on-demand creation and delivery of shims / carriers dedicated to combinations could be a solution. Yes, there are a lot of combinations, but getting a (passive) shim/carrier going is a pico fraction of what it takes to get an board like Pico going.
