Discounts don't apply across the board (for example a 'student'
card doesn't give a discount on tube fares). However both
contactless and Oyster are usable on National Rail lines within the
TfL area, so why shouldn't people be able to get a discount if they
have an appropriate railcard?

I'm not saying they shouldn't - I'm just saying that everywhere else
I've looked at such things Railcards are a long-distance product only
and don't apply to local journeys within a joint-tariff area.

Where? Paper tickets in the same area always got railcard discounts. In some
cases they can still only be obtained with paper tickets, e.g. Day
Travelcards with Network Card discounts.
