Overly optimistic faith in progress on problems that are very simple to identify and define but difficult (arguably impossible) to get right 100% of the time is always suspicious to me.
You might be right... but, on the other hand, I think whatever progress in any given language there is to be made in non-dictionary based hyphenation is already likely to have been made.
But I could always be wrong.
And either way, I do agree with your point on a general level, regardless of specifics.
