The "problem," mechanic, is a small developer base, none of whom have either the time or the interest in completing NTFS support.
Had you asked this on misc@, someone would have asked you to stop complaining and submit your patches to complete the work.
I won't be quite that rude, but given that there are only 120-130 developers in total, some of them relatively inactive or only working on specialized sections of the OS... sometimes, things get delayed, deferred, or dropped.
The only way to ensure a development you want occurs on OpenBSD is to either a) jump in and do it yourself, or b) ask if there is any interest, and if not, find out if you can make the work interesting for someone. For example, donation of hardware to get specific hardware support sometimes happens.
