Maybe because rims wear out and Shimano would rather you buy a whole new wheelset from them.
I have RS81-24 wheelset. Lots of good reviews and no problems with mine so far...

Because it's a shit idea?
I have a feeling it's a patented idea, and that Shimano licence it from Alex. It's probably an expensive process too.

Seems sensible in theory...
