I honestly don’t see any barriers. Either they simply don’t know about it, or maybe they think that feature is too complex or somehow not worth it, or they have reasons I haven’t thought of. If anyone knows I expect it would be Alex Tabarrok, cause any company interested in that would have likely contacted him. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to contact crowdfunding platforms and ask them about it.
[Edit 30/aug/2023]: The barrier is probably legal. Offering a refund bonus is like offering a security, so it would be subject to equity crowdfunding regulations (probably, I’m not a lawyer).
