AIUI, it seems to be because for some reason you can't load one day
travelcards onto Oyster cards, rather than that the TOCs won't accept
one day travelcards on Oyster.

I think the only reason why you can't load a ODTC onto Oyster is because
it would then be expected to work as a ODTC - i.e. be usable on National
Rail.

I don't think there is any technical reason why it couldn't be done -
Ask Oyster implies that it is only a matter of time: "at present only 7
Day and longer period Travelcards are available on Oyster".
