I don't honestly know the details on why they don't (I guess varies partitions of data have to have some sort of EOF or something flag?) but besides the potential difficulties, why would they do that? Their whole business is getting their customers to buy a new phone every 2 years and sell as many phones as possible, not to make it easy for you to buy or sell 2nd hand, taking away from their profits.
