Text Boxes don't work in SurfaceGUIs?

On ScreenGUIs, TextBoxes allow for me to interact and type on it as it should. When I place them on a SurfaceGUI, it's locked and non-editable.

Buttons seem to work just fine on SurfaceGUIs, but why am I not able to interact with SurfaceGUI TextBoxes the way I can on ScreenGUIs? And how do I fix this? Thanks.

I looked up several articles on devforum, and it tells me that this is on design. I'd need to clone the SurfaceGUI to the client and use RemoteEvents to update the server.
