Why don't any of the big name firewall appliance vendors support OpenVPN?

Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, Palo Alto, etc. - none of them offer onboard OpenVPN support as far as I know. I get that OpenVPN performance can lag a bit behind IPsec in some scenarios but I'm just curious why it's only the FOSS based guys like pfSense, OPNsense, VyOS, and so on that offer OpenVPN connectivity options. Perhaps the big guys aren't able to bake it into their ASICs?
