The problem with the beaglebone and others is that they do not have a Real time operating system. This means that there is a delay when inputting data and things don't always work in real time. This becomes an issue for safety and a number of other things as proccesing can become delayed as you can not expect it to processe an input in a certain time frame.
While they do have I/O doing something simple like PWM generation requires special scripting.
