Is there a reason for that?
no one has written a dotconfig for it yet
from void-packages.
Why not to provide a generic kernel build for other boards like it is done for AArch64?
Because there is very little standardization on how to boot kernels for those armv7 devices, not sure about other stuff like device trees etc, seems like every device you want to support would require more work than just a generic kernel.

DTBs are fine from standard kernel build, of course this is not true for all boards out there but those I have worked fine (I've tried). Bootloader setup is the most complex question here but u-boot have a good documentation on different boards and I don't see problem here since kernel package itself does not force to create automated bootloader setup for it.

There are a bunch of distros out there where dotconfig can be taken as a starting point: Debian, Alpine. All of them have armhf kernel packages. As I already mentioned AArch64 kernel from Void repo works perfectly fine on R4S board. I don't know which dotconfig was taken as a staring point here but I believe it can be done for armv7 as well.

Because someone made a PR configuring the kernels for those devices (#20391, #20456). Nobody is going to just randomly copy or configure random devices they don't have and are unable to test. This is mainly the reason why the armv6/7 dotconfigs haven't been brought over to newer kernels. Because nobody knew or knows which devices were actually supported and if they still work.
