From books I've read(the best being Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer) most imply that the physical effort required to move a body at that height just cannot be summoned. As most climbers at that altitude are at the very limit of human endurance, with extremes taking their toll on the body the inherrent risks of attempting to move and carry a body make it almost a physical impossibility.
Many are quite literally stuck to the mountain and having become a solid mass would have to be literally chipped off the face of it. Sorry if that's a bit graphic.
