It's not as simple because the modules may use some of that code.
But I can assure you this feature is planned for the near future.
The greater plan is to ditch jQuery overall in the frontend, load vanilla JS in inline snippets (and only where needed) & ditch any font icons in favour of inline SVG icons. K2's main CSS is already flexible so it's not an issue.
