WTH -- Why aren't there templates for all entity domains?

Currently template entities support the following types:

Why aren’t there templates for the other domains? I am particularly interested in the media_player, remote, and device_tracker domains.

A lot of these are integrations that either supply other entity domains (like the air quality sensor) so are already covered by the template sensors/ numbers/ switches etc… Or have specific user defined entities like Generic Thermostat that are easier to define than templates.

What about the media_player, device_tracker, and remote?

Take the media player, for example:
A template would allow the on/off to turn on a series of devices, the volume to control a sound system, and the media controls to control a smart tv.

There is an excellent template climate in HACS: https://github.com/jcwillox/hass-template-climate

I didn’t know about this. Thanks!!
