As I see it the TOCs are wary of Pre Pay for business reasons, and
given the current business structure of the railways it shouldn't

Trying to account for every journey and allocating revenue would be an
impossible task. Well, maybe not impossible, but nobody has found he
need to do it so far.

I'd actually say pre-pay is to the TOCs advantage - each and every journey
made with an Oystercard will get recorded allowing revenue to be divided up
far more fairly.
