I think Tormach doesn't make any profit off PP, just off the controller, so providing customer support for PP users who don't use their controller is a losing proposition.
It would be like Apple providing customer support for customers who load OS X on any random computer they find. Apple is in the business of providing support for hardware they sell, not for hardware they don't sell that may or may on be compatible with their software and hasn't been tested by them.
