It's a brand-new CPU architecture with a potentially large userbase across Asia, especially
China. So, I think it's reasonable to expect there to be some users of Kodi on loongarch64.

That's not really a convincing argument. Kodi has build support for various POWER targets and
even IBM zSeries. I don't think we will ever see a TV box with a mainframe CPU in it, will we?
FWIW, I think the changes required are so minimal that "bloat" is not really an argument here.
It's an excuse.
And, while we're at it, we should also add support for mips64el.
