Would it be too much to ask that you not drop ads for your devices in
your email? I already get far too many ads as it is, and don't need
more - especially shoehorned into otherwise interesting discussions.

Probably, but that would likely get someone upset at you if the result
were to achieve wide distribution.
If you do that, why not just save yourself the trouble
of writing the
code in the first place?
Sometimes hardware costs - either primary (eg the chip) or secondary
(eg board space, power draw) outweigh software costs.
