Because if EC261/2004 applies (which it does not), then the operation carrier (here CX) is clearly on the hook either for a full refund or free reroute/endorsement - regardless of who issued the ticket.
Put another way, most countries have had the sense and decency not to impose nannycrat rules which are a drag on economic development and job growth. It's been 15 years since the Regulation and it isn't as though Japan, China, the US, or Australia, the giants of commercial aviation, have stumbled down this road.
