I bet you are looking forward to Oyster being introduced on FCC/One in

excessively hiked rate to discourage non-Oyster use in Greater London
etc).
Put a few Oyster pads on the train.

If the relevant authorities were prepared to do this, they would have
done so on LU trains. They have not done so. Why should we expect
any better when Oyster is introduced on NR?

What purpose would Oyster pads serve on LU trains?

The entire LU system is within the zones, and all stations served by LU
trains have Oyster pads.

Most of the NR system is outside the zones, and most NR stations -- the
ones outside the London region -- don't have and will presumably never
have have Oyster pads. Oyster pads on the trains would be useful for
people traveling between points outside the London region and points
inside the London region.
