The Asahi team isn't some monolithic corporation with a prioritised backlog.
The skillsets and amount of work involved in getting Widevine working (quickly porting the binary from ARM64 ChromeOS) vs USB 3 (reverse engineer Apple's unique undocumented implementation and write a Linux kernel driver for it) are completely different.
It's open source, if someone volunteers a Widevine implementation for Asahi then the maintainers aren't going to say no.
Generally speaking Alyssa does GPU reverse engineering, Marcan does the other hardware reverse engineering, Asahi Lina writes the GPU driver and everyone else does various miscellaneous bits (like userspace binaries).
