why?
why not convert artnet or RDM or any other protocall to ACN when you need to with a net3 gateway?
sure would be nice to accomodate guest equipment without adding a third- party node device-

I think mainly for simplicity and the fact that all current ETC network hardware speak NET3 (sACN/ACN).
Given the amount of different network protocols that exist i.e Artnet (V1,v2,v3), Shownet, Avabnet, ESPNet, Kinet, MANet, and many more. It would take a lot of testing and add a lot of complexity to the interface.
NET3 is based on the industry ratified standard of ACN and sACN. I think the question should be, why don't more manufacturers start supporting ACN?

P.S. NET3 gateways do support RDM.
and I guess theat is My real statement here-
ONE standard comunication protocall-
just tired of troubleshooting compatability- " oh look, this only outputs
