Yamaha apparently sees no logical reason (and certainly no demand from their own loyal user base) for 76 keys. Why? Because they don't have to. People who play these things prefer a LIGHTER and smaller footprint keyboard. If that means plastic and 61 keys...there's your sign...Yamaha can be blamed for a lot of strange choices. Knowing who their customers are and what THEY want is not one of them.

Lets face facts here. This would be an EASY and cheap implementation within the current shell even (almost as easy and cheap as an XLR mike input W/O phantom power)

So there can only be one reason they don;t do it........People who matter to them don't want or need it. There are few who would buy a Tyros with 76 keys over what they have now...so why risk a winning combo for a handful of naysayers who would not be customers anyway??
