Why doesn’t Warmoth make pick guards that accommodate a 24 fret extension?

Considering how popular the Ibanez RG has always been, the huge renaissance Charvel has had over the past decade, and the rise of the "vintage modern" aesthetic that every brand has been doing, wouldn’t there be a lot of demand for this? I would totally love to be able to do a Strat or Tele for progressive metal without having to do a rear rout.
 
A 24th fret extension goes over the pickguard the same as it does for a 22nd fret overhang. What is not offered in pickguard is a 24th fret reposition for a neck pickup.

So if you order a body without a neck pickup rout and a pickguard without a neck pickup rout as long as you can do those yourself, you could do a 24 fret as described. Although you would have limited upper fret access on a Strat or Tele body for the last couple of frets.
