There are some simplified crochet patterns that can be mechanized, but for the most part we haven't found a way to generically mechanize crochet.

I don't fully understand why, apparently most patterns require manipulating the yarn in a way that simply requires human dexterity?

No. Machines cannot do that reliably, it's still in the realm of research. Crochet is much less simplifiable compared to knitting
