Because it was cheaper that way.

A MCU ML Shuri would have required a whole new sculpt, along with a new digitized print/scan for the face, while the comic Shuri required little more than a new cape and some paint. That's it. There was no newly sculpted parts on the figure. In addition, we got Klaw out of it, who also literally was nothing more than a brand new headsculpt and right arm. Outside the head, and a little tiny bit of the weapon arm, there is no paint apps on the figure body. Cost Hasbro pennies to make, and yet they turn around and sell it in a exclusive two pack for maximum profit.

I'm not a fan of the idea either, but it's what's they do.
