There could be many reasons, but it costs money and effort to maintain a level, none of which is worth spending if their data points towards the level not being necessary and/or driving revenue.

It's like when your car gets old it is no longer worth fixing, but invariably someone will ask why you are getting rid of such a great car when fixing it is cheaper than getting a new one. You know the data, the history and how the car drives but there is always someone with none of that information who thinks they know that keeping the car would be better.
