i think that is because linux is pretty much business critical at this point. even if businesses are rather conservative with upgrades.
also, if one would be so inclined they might just roll their own linux repository. which, thanks to the nature of git is exactly what many people do. people follow linus partly for traditional reasons, partly for him being the last line of sanity when something dubious gets past the maintainers.
you can definitely do so in smaller projects where things are easier to test, and impact is less critical. i managed to get a couple of things patched in fusioninventory, for instance.

That does not apply to this situation. The linux kernel has had a modular architecture for IO schedulers for years. Adding BFQ as another optional IO scheduler -- which a good project manager would have done years ago shortly after the BFQ patches were submitted -- does not affect overall kernel stability or any business critical applications. BFQ was repeatedly denied and jerked around for no good reason.
