Lack of imagination? Neglect? Most likely it's neither -- it's
probably simple economics. There is a far larger market of rock, rap,
hip-hop, customers than classical customers, most of whom won't be happy
with sampled voices because they won't sing the real words.
Classical composer/arrangers are most interested for demos, whereas the
other markets are more likely to actually (and actively) use the samples
in recordings and performances, so they're more likely to be willing to
pay the money necessary to defray the expenses of the very difficult
development of the samples.
While the sample developers are interested in the musical arts, they
really are in business to make money and therefore are pitching their
products towards the more lucrative segments of the marketplace.
