Why not a rowable inflatable?

Inflatables may offer a solution to the dinghy stowage problem but the
require a motor that requires gas and mounting th emotor on the dinghy
when you set it up, etc. Many of us like rowable dinghys because we
think we need the excercise but existing inflatable simply cannot be
rowed. Why cant an inflatable be made with an inflatable skeg so it
can be rowed. Why cant it be made with a better shape for better
rowing?
I must be missing something. I have found inflatables great for rowing.
They are so light and the better ones (Achilles, Avon) have such decent
oarlocks so that I have found rowing to be easier on my inflatable than
with many solid dinghies I owned. I use rowing to get around on ours.
Most folks use engines because in harbors, moorings are often a country
mile from the dock and if the purpose is to get ashore...
