Console support and porting effort in general is the main biz of some companies, the most popular being M2 (mostly emulators) and MP2 Games (handles Clickteam Fusion ports to console like Freedom Planet, Baba is You), but there are many other smaller studios. They mostly seem to have their own proprietary tech. That kinda work also can't be open source as official console SDKs are expensive and covered by NDAs.

If the next Undertale/Minecraft gets built in Godot, W4 Games would be the easiest way to get that game to consoles and rack in tons of royalties, so I think the investment is justified (though hoping it doesn't poison Godot in some way)
