Because they are a one-year-only design requiring a large financial investment with a very small potential market. They don't sell repro fenders, bumpers, or full quarters for those cars either and there's probably a much larger market for those parts due to rust repair. Keep in mind that during most of the musclecar years, Pontiac sold on average TEN TIMES as many GTOs as Olds sold 442s. Year One is a commercial business, not a charity. They intend to make a profit.
