One factor is that many customers don't demand this kind of refinement, and of those who do many of them already use Macs.
Another is that it's not primarily a technical problem, but an organizational one. These kinds of interface refinements require coordinating across hardware, drivers, OS, toolkit, and applications. It would be hard for any one person to own that problem in Open Source Software.
