I don't know a scorer who would read four fingers on the left hand and one finger on the right hand as the number five. This ain't addition.
The reason, IMO, why it's not explicitly allowed in NFHS is since the talent of officials encompasses all levels of officials, they keep it simple for everyone. There would be too many officials who mix up how to properly report with two hands. Also, the same thing with scorers who would somehow mix this up.
