Since they don't [or at least didn't until recent events caused suspensions] have frames lying around, launching new long haul routes from LGW would mean displacing existing capacity elsewhere [whether from LHR or LGW]. Difficult to make that financial case for a holiday destination with limited business potential while the current US regime is in power - especially when US metro areas are willing to pay for the flights.
