Default Walk-through trains

Sorry - not sure exactly what they're called, but why is it only the
SSL and Overground that are to get trains that you can walk all the
way through (like a bendy bus)?

Is there something on the Tube lines that stops this design being
practical?

Note that the Vic Line was built after the "wayleave" concept was abolished,
so has graceful curves which make no attempt to stay beneath streets. I
don't think walk-through trains could ever be considered on the earlier
lines. The Jubilee Line uses fairly old tunnels from Baker Street to
Finchley Road, so I'm not sure about that one.
