In graphical interface automation, compatibility is the limiting factor.

Compatibility has an extremely long tail.

The only companies incentivized to implement support for that long tail are those who derive revenue from doing so.

Testing frameworks, by and large, don't derive revenue from that. Process automation frameworks do.

Ergo, if you're sick of "Oh, well that isn't supported", use the latter, even if for the purposes of the former.
