The generic combiner effectively shoves everything into a KDF to produce a new shared secret, e.g.:

ss = KDF(mlkemSS || tradSS || tradCT || tradPK || Domain)

However, for HKDF-based KDFs, this simply doesn't make sense. HKDF requires multiple inputs, not just a single input (mlkemSS || tradSS || tradCT || tradPK || Domain). As it stands, none of the HKDF-based variants in table 2 can be implemented.
