I don't think Bandai has some limit on the number of figures they do. A yearly budget, sure. But I doubt the cost of a new paint job and a new box on an already existing mould would equal out to the production costs for making a whole new figure, like MechaGodzilla or Gorosaurus, especially considering the premium nature and high price point of this item. It's a very, very niche thing that probably had little impact on anything else they might consider.

But I admit, that's just speculation on my part. I don't work in nor know a whole lot about the toy industry outside of certain outdated stigmas.
