I bought a player that does just that.

Like you, I find it very surprising that other players have such difficulties with this. I believe the issues are

1) the UPnP AV specification doesn't include a mandatory protocol for enabling gapless playback

2) it is more difficult technically to merge the audio output from separate files gaplessly in the player
