But INAV will require MAG to perform one specific function: Position Hold and Return To Home.

At least, from my point of view.

However, FrSky gave as many headaches too. D8, D16, Inverted, Uninverted, R9 Flex and so on. They also gave us the full spectrum of RC protocols: SBUS (Yes, I know, SBUS is Futaba), SmartPort, FPort, FPort2. Now they have something new. And if you ask me, they should stop already. Speeding up FPort2 and naming it FBUS is really too much…
