One possible reason it hasn't been done is that an engine management
system needs some actuators to manage if it's going to do any good. The
traditional rocket design with cooling passages feeding into an injector
doesn't lend itself well to putting any kind of flow regulating
actuators in that plumbing.

Elsewhere we talked about electric propellant pumps.

With a BLDC motor per fuel component you are all set
for finely adjustable (differential) fuel flow control.
