Barriers to Replacement OS?

Just a curiosity question here: What is stopping newer Kobo devices from having full firmware/OS replacements installed? Obviously it is much easier on the older ones with internal microSD cards, as well as the usual need for there to be developer interest in making & maintaining such an OS, and that this OS would have to be worth such effort in the first place.

But, on the bright side, Kobo devices seem so much more open to software mods without needing "jailbreak"-type exploits. I'm just wondering what hypothetical barriers there to totally flashing a new operating system in the first place.
