I note that S02 says that the unicode classes Ps/Pe are blessed to act as opening and closing quotes. Is there a reason that we can't have Pi/Pf blessed too?

You mean

2E00 - 2E2F Supplemental Punctuation

New Testament editorial symbols
[...]
2E02 LEFT SUBSTITUTION BRACKET
2E03 RIGHT SUBSTITUTION BRACKET
[...]
2E09 LEFT TRANSPOSITION BRACKET
2E0A RIGHT TRANSPOSITION BRACKET
