Why isn't there a te::Edit::getAllOutputDevices method the same way there is a te::Edit::getAllInputDevices

Research direction

Search the te::Edit class for getAllInputDevices, read its declaration, implementation and any tests that cover it, then trace how input devices are enumerated. Check whether Edit already has or can expose an analogous output-device path; the issue does not name files, so start from the Edit header and the input-device implementation. Done means either a maintainer answer explaining the asymmetry or a getAllOutputDevices method mirroring the input API with a test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There seems to be an asymmetry i the te::Edit APIs for getting the inputs vs getting the outputs. I can try making a PR, I'm just curious if there's maybe some reason for this.
