If I had to wager a guess it was because the system was having problems early on, and probably didn't offer much "bang for the buck" in terms of getting its job done. In other words, the emissions functionality was minimal and the system was a maintenance PITA.
I know the factory EGR resistor TSB came out pretty soon after they released the darned thing. They even had a warranty recall in California to rip the thing out. That involved a new ECU, too. It's a pricey kit to do it the way the factory did it.
