If not, it's because of laziness or incompetence; there is no reason
whatsoever it couldn't be done.  Report a bitmap of keys down instead
of <=6 keycodes of keys down and at most you need a custom driver on
the host.  Heck, I could do it myself by just sticking a USB target
mode interface in front of a SBC - or SOC - to which I then connect the
keyboard, though that would be serious overkill except for a
proof-of-concept.
