Why not? It's just a matter of people like you working on this (and addressing some review comments ;)).
The most common comment about this is that people will not put effort in the upstream kernel as long as there is no comfortable way for debugging in the upstream kernel (i.e. at least USB support).......
Right, you need USB to have ethernet working. Still, IMHO UART (for console) + ethernet (for file transfer or NFS root) is the reasonable setup allowing you to debug further drivers in a comfortable way.
I am fine with UART and switching SD cards :-) But apparently this is not generally accepted.
Still, isn't some work on USB support for RPi already going on? I believe Matt Porter (now on Cc) has been working on unifying dwc2 host-mode driver with Samsung s3c-hsotg device-mode driver (for the same IP) to get full OTG support on all applicable platforms.
