Yeah, I’ve run across that (it’s surprising how much stuff you can get from archive.org). Unfortunately, I don’t currently have enough disk space for it!
It can’t only be a rights issue though, because, again, PBS restricts access to the back catalog of literally everything regardless of who owns it.

It wouldn’t be uncommon for the rights to be divided up and sold per season given the context of children’s content. They are a nonprofit.
