Microsoft's answer is because (1) it's hard to abstract it in a
reasonable and bullet-proof way, (2) the performance penalty of handling
things in user mode matters in isochronous use cases, and (3) the only
uses for isochronous are audio and video, and those device classes can't
be done in user-mode in Windows anyway.

When news of this limitation first came out 5 or 6 years ago, the USB
team at Microsoft sent out a blast saying "We will add this if you have
a legitimate use case for it.  Let us know."  No one has let them know,
or at least no one that matters.
