Surely its not technically difficult?


Because it wouldn't be a true ODTC, because you couldn't use it on
National Rail.


I have no problem using my annual on National Rail...


Exactly - ODTCs issued at Tube stations on London Underground stock are
valid on National Rail, so why shouldn't Oyster-based ODTCs be? All
barriered NR stations have Oyster readers on the barriers, after all.
(And I've never had any trouble with my monthly Z1-3, despite living
nowhere near a tube station and rarely using the tube.)
