You would have to ask the question to Realtec and/or whoever wrote that driver.

Realtec (or whoever wrote the driver) would need to submit the driver
to the linux kernel and get it accepted and added to the linux kernel.
  I don't know why that step has never been done.

I gave up on using my realtec usb device, it was simply too much work
to keep finding the updated driver code for the new kernels.  And you
really never knew on a kernel update if it was going to compile and
work on the new kernel, it seems to break every 2-3 updates.

I eventually replaced the laptop's wifi card (I think it was a
realtec) with one that worked (intel ax200) reliably, and so don't
need the usb one anymore.

I won't ever go with a usb one for any reason unless I can confirm
that usb one is supported in the kernel already (and last time I only
found N300's that had kernel support).
