This is available in many commercial airframes (Part 121/135), but the technology is not the same. In commercial aviation they are typically called Full Flight Envelope Protection Systems, or LAS (Load Alleviation Systems). However, this video is about General Aviation (Part 91) and in that regulatory regime, you won't have a hard time finding impediments to actually improving flying efficiency - sometimes created by the manufacturer and sometimes by the FAA itself.
One of the other reasons has to do with the design philosophy of the manufacturer. Boeing -vs- Airbus is a great example. Airbus was not only the first commercial airframe manufacturer to do bottom-up design of commercial airframes using CATIA, but it was the first to implementation computer controlled fly-by-wire with encoded flight control limits. Boeing believes that ultimately the crew should have final control authority. So, its 777's FBW can be overridden by the crew.
Wow! I totally forgot about the FAA's old SAS studies.

@TigerGrumman Why isn't this in airplanes today?
