The reason for this restriction is that KeySelector keys (i.e., keys that
are extracted using a function) require special case handling at runtime.
If we allow combinations of KeySelector keys with other keys for grouping
and groupSorting, we have four different cases to cover compared to two. So
this is not a technical limitation but mainly due to code complexity and
development time.
I agree, that restriction should be better documented.
