Why?  I happen to work at TileDB, have a fairly good handle on the code
quality and stability. We have also built Docker containers with the
combination for a long time, the support upstream (at the gdal and pdal
projects) is good.

Because I'm skeptical of fads. TileDB is the latest shiny new thing which hasn't been time tested yet and proven to last.

As said before I don't use TileDB, and no users have expressed a need for it either. So there is no popular demand to get this support added as soon as possible.

| GDAL 3.5 and PDAL 2.4 might a good time to add tiledb support.

What timeline do you expect here?
