Summary: because some of us don't want it!

There's a very good reason: some of us are short on disk space and
can't afford to hold it all. I expire net.sources after 5 days here
anyway. But the utilities, kernel fixes and whatnot are interesting,
and I scan the title list daily, saving anything that seems important.
On our site, new games are of no interest, and we have turned off
net.sources.games.  Thank you, whoever came up with the idea.
