UVC were implemented too late. There are lots of chipsets that are not UVC-compliant, simply because there were no UVC at the time those chipsets were designed. Still today, newer devices using those chipsets are still at the market. This is the same as saying that we should not support USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 because they're not fully USB 3.0 compliant.
