Because doing so incurres a cost but no revenue.
It may require a review of the code, there’s a risk of something being exposed that shouldn’t have been (e.g. misuse of intellectualproperty).
There really aren’t any benefits for the studio.

That’s assuming they’re even in business decade later, or even still have ownership.
