Also it's because of just being massive pussies and honestly, kind of lazy.

That's largely how this edition stuff goes with 40k.
Last time the fanbase made a homebrew edition was when GW released 3rd edition of 40k and many people hated it so they went back to 2nd ed and then made a 2.5 edition so to speak. It supposedly still gets played based on what I've seen people say here.
Currently there is a new project in the catalog about making a new homebrew 4th edition, but who knows how that'll go. There used to be a one before it known as /fourk/ and that shit died within less than 2 months.
