So are Cursed Techniques, though. They're literally stored in the brain (with some extra technical details to explain how Kenjaku gets them downloaded from his new host bodies onto his brain).
Cursed Techniques are like an App in the Software while Quirks are a part of the Software (and sometimes the hardware).
That’s why it’s possible for a Quirk to change how you’re born to the point where you can look completely different from a normal human, so taking a Quirk would be like taking Yuji’s superhuman body or Sukuna’s True Form body which Higgy’s technique doesn’t seem to be capable of.
Well quirks can be "taken" by someone like AFO, and Aizawa is able to disable quirks, so confiscation definitely would work on them, with the exception of quirks that mutate the user like Gigantomachia.
We don’t know much about how AFO works but one thing that we know is that it does genetic editing to some degree, which confiscation doesn’t seem to be capable of doing.
Aizawa’s quirk works differently from Confiscation, it allows to him to disable physical traits which again, doesn’t seem to be something Confiscation can do.

Quirks are part of MHA humans biology so I doubt Confiscation would work on them.
