Any thoughts about making a 'non-arduino' version of the Teensy 4.1 (e.g. have a J-Link header instead of the bootloader chip)?

The Teensy 4.1 board is so awesomely amazingly powerful, and it seems like it would be a great general-purpose compute module for situations where the Arduino lifestyle isn't a good fit...
Thoughts?
 
That's true, but then it's a general-purpose Super Fast Compact Compute Module!
Alternatively, if there were room to add the J-Link header, then it could do both!
 
It's not so much of a "bootloader" as a "bootstrapper"; it handles the power-up sequence (rather than loading code) and the SoC won't power-on correctly without it. So it can't just be removed/replaced with a J-Link.
(Also if it was, the product will probably be unviable due to the market being flooded with cheap knock-offs.)
