there are probably enough theories around that include almost everything.

One really doesn't have to guess.  There is enough Rabbinic literature that
permits entry and enough scientific indications that would useful. I think
that the major question is either ideological or physchological - are there
Rabbis willing to paskin in the matter.

Second the fear that once one goes on the Temple mount it is too easy to get
into the "wrong" areas or that one does not go to the mikvah properly etc.

Well, at present, people to go up to the "wrong" areas and they don't go to
the Mikveh.  Which is better: having the Chief Rabbinate issue a new psak
defining to the best of their ability which areas cannot be entered and
under what conditions or allow people to enter areas they can't and turn a
blind eye?
