IIUC that is all that is supported using the normal (simple) Joystick 
APIs on Windows, and that some other way accessing the device is needed 
to get full use of the more modern devices.  If somebody were to supply 
a patch for that I expect that it would be accepted, but unless one of 
the core developers has a personal joystick need it probably won't get 
done by them.
