You mean: why doesn't it *support* horizontal scrolling?
Lack of a corresponding patch, I guess ;-)

There are also various situations where the user has access to "real"
horizontal scrolling. So rather than a modifier, it might be that
horizontal scrolling is specified by mouse-6 and mouse-7 or yet
something else.

Doing it via global-map key bindings doesn't sound quite right.
Instead, we want to have mwheel understand wheel-left and wheel-right

events to those ones.
