If by minority platform you mean platforms that are resource starved, like some embedded systems, then I would have to agree.
Like anything but the platform the compiler developer(s) use. If you used a platform like that, you would certainly have to agree. If you were a compiler developer for a language that supports like-platform porting the way GHC does, after trying to keep that working while developing the language I suspect you might also be tempted to agree.
