Yes, there is something inherent in scanner and camera profiles that
would not allow one to convert into such spaces from other profiles.
According to the ICC Specification, scanner and camera profiles are
required to be source spaces but they are not required to be both
source spaces and destination spaces.
Monitor profiles and printer profiles are required to be both source
spaces and destination spaces.
This is not to say that a scanner profile would be illegal if it were
bidirectional. Just that in the minds of the architects of the ICC
Specification the concept of converting into a scanner space for
simulation did not make much sense.
