Amazing is as amazing does.

It's not an issue of greed, they'd have to completely reprogram and test a major function of the game engine to make that kind of animation more sophisticated than what's already offered. NPCs can do it sometimes because they were mocapped to do that there. One example that comes to mind is the gold saucer bunnies using a unique walk and setting things down, that was a specific animation cycle mocapped just for that specific purpose. That walk cycle wasn't made to respond to player input and physics/collision present in the game like what a player avatar can do. For a player character to have one foot on the stairs whenever we walk up to them with all available models it'd take a much more sophisticated and procedurally generated set of tools which the game engine itself probably cannot handle.
