X2 doesn't have it anymore, the IoT range has it as optional now. And it's going to be deployed less from there

Awesome, that's great to hear. Now if Qualcomm would only relax the walls between their business units, their other customers could benefit as well.
Who benefits from having separate BUs maintain fully separate software stacks? It's duplicated, wasted effort on Qualcomm's part. Maybe it lets them double-charge their customers for this duplicate effort, but that feels short-sighted. It leaves a bad taste in their customers' mouths. And there's certainly no benefit in delivered software quality.
Qualcomm should be making it easy for everybody to buy and use their chips, not artificially segmenting every single customer. They could sweep the market so hard if they were just a little less greedy.
