"Feature phone" can often have some android installed on it. From all definitions I ever saw, it was mostly about form factor (keeping that old Nokia looks with physical buttons). Nokias now have something called KaiOS, unix-based OS where you can develop just like elsewhere.

Porting some app into another OS would be probably a showstopper due to budgets/deadlines, even though even my old Nokia in 2006 could easily run java apps like these (but ended up mostly running Snake et al).

Not all feature phones are KaiOS, and no, not everyone can develop for KaiOS anyway.
