Hello Jason, I'm answering inline:

Because there is no "standard" solution to support embedded systems. Python itself is struggling to be a first-class citizen on embedded systems, so it's a problem of the language itself. I know there are many ways to do so, but none of them is the official one: Why Pi is mentioned? - If you run any Linux on these systems, you can build PySide2 without problems, but to distribute them among all the linux-based OS is not standard because "wheels" are not properly supported, and there is a project https://www.piwheels.org that is currently aiming to do that. But again...that's just for Raspberry pi systems, so what's the option for other platforms? Options: - We are currently trying to cross compile PySide2 for Linux-based embedded OS, but is still on-going. (At least we would like to provide a recipe to achieve this) - Docker-base packaged: We have some members in the community playing with this, but again it's on-going work. - Provide a Yocto-based image so people can easily use Qt, and PySide2 on the supported devices by Qt (Hopefully I can work on this soon) > 2.

From the top of my head, I don't have a solution without copying it, maybe you can try asking on the pyside mailing list: https://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/pyside (Also PIL is deprecated, please try to use pillow: https://python-pillow.org/) > 3.

As you stated, those plugins are the only way of doing it, and at the moment providing PEP3156 support is not a priority mainly because we don't have enough resources to tackle that too. > I'm sure I'll have more as I dig in, but that's what I have for now.

Also the devs are quite active on the IRC channel #qt-pyside.
