I understand the task of stateswap, among other things, to pair external values such as stablecoins, BTC, ETH with high liquidity in DOT. On the one hand, this requires cooperation with the operators of the stablecoins, on the other hand, the corresponding liquidity is also required on the other side (DOT, parachain token).
I could imagine that Kusama does not have the necessary monetary liquidity to convince in negotiations with external parties. Kusama as a concept is accordingly the test network, albeit with financial underpinning.
Apart from these thoughts, DOT is of course software. In my opinion, however, this argument is a bit hypocritical anyway, or at least ambiguous. Which is another topic.
In general, of course, there is nothing against a stateswap on Kusama. But maybe KSM’s bridge into the Polkadot ecosystem is the solution?
