That didn't happen with R5RS, why would it happen now?

Face it, by refusing to be opinionated they ensured Scheme will remain a toy.

Because r7rs large is an effort that probably is bigger than common lisp. It is very much not a toy language.
If it doesn't have an ffi it will remain a toy that relies on implementations to make it useful.
