R22 overspeed query

Hi - can anyone tell me why some sort of engine rpm limiter could not be incorporated into the design of an R22/R44?

It seems that a lot of low time pilots waste a fair amount of cash coughing up for accidental engine overspeeds and R22s remain grounded pending inspections when e.g. starting up with the throttle open or raising the collective without the governor on and not reacting quickly enough to reduce rpm.

Thanks
