I think the answer is quite simple, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Many parts fail on cars through wear and tear and they are not replaced under a recall, they may be improved later if it does not cost too much.

Recalls are done when safety is an issue or bad publicity will be the result. A locked ignition in your driveway is hardly a safety issue. LOL

Anything that they do is balanced out, cost versus risk.
