If you ask me, it's because they never took off in the first place. As most people know, SC2's custom games scene, early on, was dismal. The interface for finding hosted games made it so getting a map recognized was exceptionally difficult. It got much better, but I believe it came too late.
The relatively high skill floor of using the editor didn't help. Blizzard didn't start to show real progress in trying to improve the editor for newcomers until the last major patch, which was never fleshed out. The game was shortly thereafter announced to be entering maintenance mode.
