The burners do more than EPROMs though. They do lots of different flash chips and some can do some of the microcontrollers. Things that are used by hobbyists. And it's really not about a market, since as you said, they want free and open. I would expect some hacker to reverse engineer a burner and cobble together some software for their own use, and then share it. It's also something I would expect one of the ultra-stubborn purist Linux enthusiasts to do that refuses to do anything on Windoze.
