Nor is SSH. Feel free to take a read over the RFCs. There's next to no 'sh' in SSH as a protocol. What mosh adds to SSH is the ability to securely resume a session. SSH is fundamentally protocol for setting up a secure connection and then ping-pong messages back and forth.

tmux runs locally. It's not a network daemon. The complexion of a daemon and protocol meant to operate over a network is very, very different from one intended to run over Unix domain sockets or on the loopback interface.
