I get it. I just thought given limited resources (time being one of the precious one) an individual working on the compiler could do a better job if they focused on one or two popular platforms and make FPC really shine.
On the other hand, having so many platforms to support also keeps the code cleaner. It discourages the use of platform-specific hacks (as you need generic code anyway), and different processors/OS'es stresstest different parts of the compiler.
