What's preventing Lexus from combining torque vectoring and rear wheel steering?

Well if you look at the cut-away that came out a few months ago, the RC F DID appear to have both rear wheel steering and the TVD.
So they can clearly package both technologies.
As for why have them, as a former Toyota Engineer, I can see that it may help agility and turn-in (RWS) while also having a very neutral stance (between over/under-steer) from the TVD.

Had rear wheel steering( forgot the %) on my Mazda Rx-7 Vert and combined with 50/50 weight distribution it was a cornering monster. When pushed one could get the rear to slide out even with the best of tires.Hope Lexus implementes this across the board.
