Just because it's not implemented; a few people have tried to implement it (including me in 2016); but it tends to get stuck because some QOM objects are more compelex than simple integer/strings and there didn't used to be any way to print other objects out easily. The most recent thing in this was Ricardo's 'Show values and description when using "qom-list"' series.
