That's a pretty big leap in logic. One that I'm inclined to disagree with.

HLC por files are essentially a proprietary file format. They might just be zipped xml files, but it's still a file format specific to Hero Lab Classic. My guess (and I've been around the foundry community long enough for this to be a pretty educated guess) is that foundry is taking issue with this aspect, and not so much rejecting a module that would be used to import data (there are already several modules in the official listing that do exactly this, import data from json or xml files or parse stat blocks to create items and actors in foundry). The key difference with HLO is that it has a public API that is specifically designed for this purpose.

So, thinking that HLO is never gonna support custom content just because third party vendors might take issue with it is unlikely and kind of a stretch.
