It's not that it CAN'T be done, it's that he doesn't want to do it, probably because he's worried it won't turn out right and and he doesn't want to deal with upset customers and refund demands and wasted inventory/effort.
I asked LAVivid if they would do it and they said they wouldn't because it's too hard and the rate of failure is high.
Coolpiece said their factory won't do it because there's too much risk of staining the base.
Northwest Lace said they won't do it, but a lady named Debbie who they refer people to might do it if you mail her the unit (I haven't contacted her yet).
NewTimesHair said it was "a really good idea" when I commented about it on one of their YouTube videos, but I haven't looked into it further with them.
The whole point of buying a blond skin piece and dyeing it after is BECAUSE there aren't exposed knots, otherwise they could just be bleached. V-loops don't always look quite as natural as we've been led to believe, and maybe they're worse on some systems, but I've definitely had people ask me why my (v-looped) hair looks like doll hair, or they insist they can see a mesh base that isn't there (because of how the v-loops are arranged in the base) on what were supposed to be super-realistic pieces, and when the hairs start breaking, they leave little bits in the base along the hairline that also look weird. Flesh-toned v-loops disappear against the skin and look more natural. I've had it done in a normal hair salon (while wearing it), and I've read in other forums (e.g. the Northwest Lace Forum) that it's a thing that some wearers do (sometimes themselves, at home).
So basically, it can be done, and it looks better, but a lot of companies won't do it for liability reasons. But it would be nice if it was a standard option you could order from the factory.
Here are some threads discussing it, with pictures:
