Just a guess: Drive is not intended to store binary data but to store 
documents and alike, so it would be some sort of abuse.
The storage API is serving exactly Tahoe's needs: storing binary "objects".

Tahoe, understanding itself as a serious storage product, probably does 
not want to support the exploitation of free services.

Best,
