Why is Tengwar still not in Uniclde officially? What's the problem with it?

Copyright is not technically violated simply by encoding the characters into a plane such as one of Unicode's, that's an easy open and shut fair use, but Unicode principals have stated they don't want to pass on the copyright burden to font authors either, which would be sued if they tried to paint some of those characters. (Why encode something that fonts aren't allowed to produce?) That should also be fair use, but the law is complicated and copyright still so often today leans in favor of the Estates and major Corporations rather than fair use and the public commons.
(ETA: I'm hugely in favor that "conlang", constructed language, scripts such as these should be encoded by Unicode. I wish someday we fix the copyright problems of them.)
