From a developer's point-of-view, it's probably very had to incorporate newer film sims into older bodies, and impossible to properly calibrate new film sims to an older sensor.

Into older bodies (with older sensors that is, right), probably, just that X-T3 is still not an "older" body on that account, having the very same sensor/processor as X-Pro3 and X-T4, at least, so the price of "porting" should be much lower (there still is some price, as software moves on, and backporting some new functionality might require rewrites in other parts of the code, too, making the whole change more complicated).
