Because Steam Reformation with a HC is a long used industrial process.
Just because Jean Pierre Chambrin failed doesn't mean everybody will.
But a catalyst that works at attainable pressures and temperatures and gas enough surface area to be effective is a challenge.
I would say that this is something vehicle manufacturers should be looking into due to the cost of experimentation.
But not something to be written off as too complex by backyard tinkers...
