The AXE FX and Kemper devices prove it can be done- it is just that 'recording outs' are usually an afterthought in the gear design process.
It is helpful to remember that everything is targeting a specific price point- no one wants to pay £10k for a digital device that will be superseded in a few years so 'having everything that is technically possible' is not possibility for financial/marketing reasons.

There's a couple of amps, non digital I've had good DI's from before, Sans Amp TM60 was one and the Marshall JMP-1 is another. Now when you hear the total dry signal from those you might not be impressed but record the parts and then send it out to a pair of speakers in a room, mic those up and then mix 80 dry and 20 re'mic'ed and it sounds very good.
Essentially a direct recording emulation needs to filter off the nasty waspy sounding frequencies a guitar does naturally by it's inability to reproduce them without adding a kind of cloak over the sound, which unfortunately a lot of basic DI's do. Then you need some kind ambience as your ears aren't used to hearing the sound of a guitar not in a room. I prefer to do that bit by putting the recorded track back in the room, doesn't need to be loud and it can wait until the house is empty as it's something you do after it's tracked.
For very heavy music tight riffing the modern modellers work very well I think but not so well for very basic slightly dirty dry guitar with more more complex voicing. IMHO
