I’m guessing here, but would the titles not have been made by an external company, or a different BBC department? If so, there’d probably be a charge for re-editing them. Maybe they don’t want to pay for something they never asked to be changed, and would rather keep the money for the production budget.

I’m thinking of a similar situation with the 2008 News At Ten titles which reportedly didn’t have versions made with the clock face showing times for when the programme was delayed because they were being charged too much money for new renders of the sequence, despite it being an apparently simple editing job.

Just a theory.
