Hasbro proved with the Transformers: Animated line that they can produce figures accurate to a highly stylized design so that shouldn't be an excuse.

It's a variety of reasons, really. I think the brushables are kept as a compromise because hair brushing has always been a play feature of My Little Pony. Hasbro lately seems to be catering to the fan side of things with their Blind Bag figures (which are becoming increasingly more accurate), but even that isn't perfect yet.
