It does seem like low hanging fruit tbh but it's NDSP so ...
The NDSP Nano Cortex…

I know I am predisposed to anti NDSP; but this device is dumb and would be dead last as a choice. QCM x infinity over this thing. You buy a QC whatever for the interface and ease of use. I am not using some screenless turd.

From my perspective it’s totally different products in widely different price brackets, with quite different primary use cases.
In my case, I swapped a Tonex One (without a screen) and a HX Stomp (with a minimal screen) for a Nano and it does the same things that I wanted in a more appealing package. Where I’m at, a QC Mini would have cost me almost three times what I paid for the Nano, so that’s important to me. If I could, I’d of course opt for the QCM, no competition. But given budget and use case (able to power via USB-C or via small 9V supply) it’s a functional product IF you can stomach the lack of screen. I find it totally okay since the app is not a piece of shit that hurts your eyes like some others I’ve tried (Mooer P1 for example).

You're putting words in my mouth, and @2dor does make a point whether you opt to acknowledge it or not.

The power supply requirement plus the price point is why I am onto the Nano. Sure, I would like the convenience of a bunch of switches and a nice touch-screen, but for my use case it doesn’t matter all that much. If I can dial in one or two great sounds with some basic effects I am happy.
As far as the development of the system goes, I am a software engineer as well and I have not seen the code, and I don’t know their approach. I can imagine that if the software architecture is extensible enough to support different hardware, then the interface layer (adapter?) between the two is where the work would likely need to be done. It’s possible that there are different “teams” of people working on the Nano than the ones working on the Quad and Mini, and another group supporting the core product. They may even outsource certain parts of the work, which is another thing that has to be managed. This is pretty common for the engineering side of product design, at least that has been my experience for the projects I have worked on. All that to say, we don’t really know how they do it. Without inside knowledge, all we can do is speculate and wish.
Ok enough of that, time to play some guitar.
