On practically every software project in the history of software projects that have lasted more than 3 release cycles, there is a person on the team who could write a _${Some Component}, The ??? Parts_ book. Nobody ever thinks to do that, because _${Our Report Generation Library}, The ??? Parts_ is super boring.
The reality though is that line-for-line, a transpiler is probably not much harder to write than a serious report generation tool. I agree with the commenter upthread, who thinks this is a result of people simply never having tried to write a compiler before.
