Their own standard or non-standard mechanism.

These other devices require isochronous or broadcast transfers, which
SBP-2/3 does not handle well or at all.  It might be possible to use
SBP-3 for control commands (which is exactly what SBP-3's AV/C support
is), but using it would not bring any worthwhile benefits over existing
transports, and would just introduce incompatibilities with all previous
soft- and hardware.
