on necromunda they make a thing called a psi-hound this is basically a psycher that is equipped with a psychic enhancing neural-crowns, which keep them docile and are also further controlled by coded auditory and olfactory triggers. usually they use highly inbred mutant psycher abominations they make specifically for this purpose but also are known to use regular non-inbred psychers the Psykanarium has aquired from other sources. although they keep the best mutant psychers for personal use by house Helmawr they also send some of the lesser ones to serve the empire. since this tech both enhances psycher powers and makes them easier to control it would be logical to just put one on every psycher that is not the emporors food and is otherwise unsuitible for use by Adeptus Astra Telepathica. given the views on psykers and how there normally treated turning all less skilled ones into what amounts to a pshyer servator seems like something they would do but the tech is rare off of necromunda. so my question is why aren't they mass producing the psyhounds psychic enhancing neural-crowns for use across the empire they clearly know necromunda has this tech as they get an amount of psyhounds but nope so why ?

It isn't luck so much as Lord Helmor being exceptionally competent at keeping the gravy train chugging along. Inquisitors or Mechanicum agents beginning to root around without REALLY good (think Sector Lord or Guiliman letters of recommendation) reasons would be allowed but thwarted at every turn on every level with every imaginable tool in the arsenal and they'd get away with it because senior apparatchiks know that no matter how weird and unorthodox the place is they do what is asked of them and they don't want to rock the boat.
You think Van Saar wants its guilders questioned by stooges from the Sol system?
You think Escher want to be grilled on their secret formulas because "erm AKSHUALLY this falls under Mars jurisdiction ☝🏻🤓"?
Throne no. They'd make any outsider's life miserable in perfect coordination with each other until they got the message that it's time to leave.
