    Restricting the user's choice of what programs he might use for
    whatever reasons is also restricting his freedoms.

Whatever we decide to support or not support, this does not restrict
the users.  Since our software is free, they can change it.
They are never restricted by our technical decisions.

GNU Project policy is that supporting a non-free program is never a
high priority mission, not even when that program is widely used, as
is Microsoft Windows.
