They didn't do mutes so they can charge more for them when they do release them. It's a business after all!
This is really the only thing I can thing of, since muted brass and strings are so common in orchestral music.
Actually there's another hypothesis: they didn't know how common mutes are. But I don't think they're that incompetent, or incompetent at all.
If I'm wrong, maybe this will get them to explain the real reason to us.

Wouldn't you have rather had brass mutes than obscure instruments like the Cimbasso, Bass Trumpet, and Wagner Tuba?

You don't really need muted col legno or even muted pizz is not so different.
I may be a Luddite, but I think that digital filtering would greatly diminish that realism.What about convolution for space modeling? Do you think it diminish the realism of VSL instruments? You can change the impulse response to simulate different spaces and different surround configuration. Of course, until having very good tools for it, built in reveb was prefered... Is it still the case?
