There's a version of ECP that runs on the 65802 and it's ECP8.  Since there's
no 16-bit operating system that runs on the 65802 that I know of and you can
still only address 64K of memory at a time on the 65802 there really isn't
much to support beyond what ECP8 already does via ProDOS 8 on a 65802 based
machine.  Sure I could save a few bytes here or there and maybe even save a
little execution time but the gain wouldn't even be noticable for an OS shell
which is mainly limited by I/O device speed more so than processor speed.
