I've enjoyed following along on your journey to find the nylon guitar that is the right combination of size/comfort/sound/projection/playability. You've made a few "asks" that didn't always make a lot of sense to me, but you have been unwavering in your quest. Asking RainSong and Emerald to switch to ekoa, or add it to their line may be another tough ask.
I think we all agree that carbon fiber guitars are a niche market, but have proven to many of us that it is a viable guitar-building material. With the exception of McPherson, we aren't seeing any of the mainstream (read:wood) guitar builders showing any interest in adding CF to their line. As of now, ekoa is an even smaller niche within a niche. It is the one thing BlackBird offers that differentiates them from the other composite builders. Maybe the sales numbers are there and we just aren't hearing about them... or maybe each composite manufacturer has found "their thing" in this niche market?
