I think it's a combination of poor sales and the internal financial workings of the company that's producing the DVDs. It depends on who's in charge of the TV division and what's considered viable. To someone like me, it seems bizarre that only one season of a long-running show like Barney Miller ever was released, but every contemporary one-season wonder like What About Brian? is considered a timeless classic that needs to be preserved for future generations... but the execs in charge have a different perspective, obviously.
