Count the number of devices in use today that will never support Opus, and it might not blow your mind any longer. Also, AFAIK, the reference implementation still doesn't implement full functionality on hardware that lacks a floating point unit.
These things take time.
I remember using Xiph's integer implementation of Ogg Vorbis on my Nokia N-Gage (Symbian S60). I wonder if it's not a priority for Opus. IIRC, Opus is floats all the way down.
update: it exists.
https://wiki.xiph.org/OpusFAQ#Is_there_a_fixed-point_implementation?
I remember trying to understand Vorbis fixed point codebase, it was completely bonkers, the three of us on this task couldn't even draw a rough control flow diagram.
