Probably because it would be confusing as hell. There are already wards of different types and plenty of skins to go with them. The simple option would be to have chromas for the more popular kinds of wards.
they have clear indicators by the icon floating on top of them, and their health bar.
despite all the different ward skins that exist now, not once did i get into the situation where i didnt recognize a ward as a ward.
i posted a suggestion like this before. it would be cool if the client had a tab for ward skins to equip similar to the emotes. you can assign a different skin for each ward type. that way you could take 4 ward skins into 1 game.
