I get the legacy aspect both in internals of the time and usage. But I'm curious how to upgrade the old way to support finer grained interactions.

That's simply not possible nor desired. It's like trying to think of a way to make ints support fractions in C without storing a second int for the denominator.
What you really want is that SSH implements support for a remote keyboard so that the application on the other end can simply read local machine key events and this is as far away from "upgrade the old way" as possible.
