Because it heavily depends on continuity. G1 is actually the only time where Optimus Prime was created out of a regular Transformer who was upgraded. In most other continuities Orion Pax just flat out doesn't exist, Optimus Prime was always Optimus Prime (or just "Optimus" until he became a Prime), and in the only other recent continuity I know where Orion Pax existed he was just a disguise for Optimus who chose to live among the other Transformers until Megatron and his Decepticons rose to power which forced him to become Optimus Prime once more.

You will still get your Orion Pax figures every now and then but obviously not in lineups where the character never existed.
