I wouldn't but it would probably be something that the BSD community
would crowdfund.
It may even be a valid business: would BSD guys pay $2-5 through the
Apple Store for a UFS driver? Of course if one wants to charge it would
have to be pretty good and then the development model just becomes much
more complex.
Just a thought ... don't send money :-P,
