I'm not from TC39, but I can hazard a guess. Decorators are somewhat useless without data properties to modify. Currently, class-fields is the proposal du jour, but even while in stage 3, it has issues, requiring trade-offs that many have voiced an unwillingness to accept. The awful syntax is forgivable given the approach they've taken, so that's not the issue. There are alternatives, but for one reason or another that TC39 is somehow unable to concisely articulate beyond stating it to be a matter of preference in their consensus, the alternatives are not able to gain traction in the committee. Yet, the discussion continues with a slowly increasing number of dissenting opinions in the discussion board.
In either case, decorators will probably see an advancement once some version of data properties lands in ES. In fact, it will likely happen quickly since few if any have any real issue with the concept. ...but that's just my guess.
