But why would they do that? The unaltered originals do not seem to even be on their radar and they don’t need them as a selling point
This isn’t true. The OOT is on LFL’s radar. It’s on their radar as something they don’t want to do. The lack of release is not due to omission and it has nothing to do with money. It has to do with the fact the George doesn’t want it done and that’s good enough as far as Kathleen Kennedy is concerned. Did you see the cake that was delivered to the 40th anniversary crew celebration? It was signed: “George & Kathleen”.
