        There's nothing stopping them....

        Ogyrns are infantry. Chimeras have Transport(2), which allows
them to carry 2 stands of infantry each. There are no restrictions on what
infantry they can carry. Just because you can't 'mount' an Ogyrn squad in
a Chimera doesn't mean you can't actually stick them in Chimera if you
have one lying around (frex, if you bought one seperately out of Support).

        As to why guardsmen squads have the option to be 'mounted' in a
Chimera and Ogyrns don't, it is merely a matter of army org and how certain
squads are generally meant to be fielded. Frex, if you buy 9 IG heavy
weapon squads and mount 5 of them in Chimeras, you can take 9 support
options. If the option to mount them was not there, you would have to use
5 of your support options just to give the heavies transports, only leaving
you 4 slots left for neat stuff like tanks.

FWIW in 40K You can only mount 1 squad of Ogryns in a Chimera, (like
Terminators in a LandRaider).
