Because they either won't build due to unresolved dependencies in the build system in the cases of RS and SFS or they will build but produce packages that have unresolved dependencies at install time in the cases of HA and LB. While we do currently have packages in EPEL in this latter category I don't think anyone really thinks it is a good situation and it at the very least contradicts the EPEL note to RHEL6 users that they need to enable the optional channel to satisfy dependencies.
