Perhaps because the election date was only known to Sunak and a small number of his staff, so there was not much time to get the campaign going. And the May council elections wouldn't have improved the moral of local activists?
Another guess is that Sue Gray (and others) could have coordinated the Labour campaign to be prepared for whenever the date was announced and had been preparing for months?

Has anyone acknowleged just how aweful the tory election campaign was? It was a Political Disaster from before it even started to the final picture, 1983 Labour bad, worst ever?
I do wonder if anyone is every going to own this? I thing the next crop of "Auto" biographys might make interesting reading.
