I would think that bleeding the system might be a hassle...and failsafes
would have to be added in case of break-aways. (just picture spraying your
brake fluid all over the road after the break...) 

The big RV folks use air actuated brake systems (like the semis), and can
connect into the hydraulic systems of their towed vehicles through third
party systems.  I know that there were/are some systems that work on
inertia... I haven't seen a hydraulic to hydraulic system though.
