-dmg in powers is labelled as not affected by buffs and enhancements.
-dmg is extremely powerful as it stands.
The enhancements would need to be on the same enhancement schedule as +dmg making them overpowered.
If they were to make -dmg enhanceable I would predict that all the powers effects would be cut in half to balance it, meaning you would need to enhance it to the ED limit to reach current numbers.

It's important to realize why this is. In the game mechanics -damage and +damage are the same effect. As such if -damage effects were allowed to be improved by enhancements they would benefit from your global +damage buff (i.e. powers like Fulcrum Shift would boost the effectiveness of your -damage powers). They could take the same route they did with resistance and simply tag the powers themselves to not accept buffs but it seems like a lot of work for no real change (since as you said if they allowed -damage enhancements they'd nerf -damage powers to compensate).

Pretty much this. There are no sets for it because you can't enhance it. And the ability to enhance -dmg is problematic, because any powers that did damage and had a -Dmg debuff on them would then be affected by the damage enhancements, as well, if my understanding of them is correct.
