I'm not saying their logic for not doing it is sound or right, but the exclusion from the main line at this point really only makes sense if it's a directive from higher up.

There have been other toy lines which ignored frequently wanted characters, only for the manufacturers to realize they could market these figures as such and then squeeze extra money from collectors who want them. It's not something that happens often, for the reasons you mentioned, but I have witnessed it before.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mephisto was just on the backburner for a special occasion, and now they have one.
