I totally agree with this. I'm an avid Duolingo user with an over 2000 day streak but I would happily use another tool/game/platform if I could learn Malayalam.

My family is Malayalee and I know the entire language in my brain because I can understand them speaking to me,but I respond in English. I would pay a huge amount of money for an English<->Malayalam instructional book and I'd pay a huge amount of money for a Duolingo-similar Malayalam learning experience. Niche and rare languages have little to no representation in the popular apps.
