Its because all are rooted in a real setting you can transplant yourself into. Pirates is KINO adventure of freedom, Castle has epic medieval warfare and shades of fantasy, Western let's you tame a west that's still wild.
There's no "real" Space adventures to root the theme in, and ones that try are boring and suck and provide little imaginative fun play. Also, the Space theme never had a unifying connected faction, with so many liking the Subthemes and not Space itself. A nostalgic Castle fan will likely buy any new Faction or old and put it in their collection as a part of the Kingdom. A nostalgic Space fan will turn their nose up at themes that arent "their" Space. A Castle set will sell to Castle fans. A Pirate ship will sell to Pirate fans. A Space set won't sell because the fan wanted UFO and not Ice Planet, or Blacktron 2 and not 80s Space.... If they kept some connective tissue, the theme as a whole would be more evergreen in a nostalgic sense.
