It might be, for those motherboards that don't report any information, that they simply don't have the sensors. Depending on who the board is targeted at, adding thermal sensors may be seen by the manufacturer as a needless expense. Most CPUs come with a sensor now, as do most hard drives and that's probably seen as sufficient. Certainly, most laptops I've owned have shown nothing of interest in lmsensors. And with Windows (still, by far, the main target for motherboards) not reporting temperatures natively, why would they bother?
