I suspect it's because the international market for print manga (the primary cash cow) is rather anemic, particularly compared to anime.

Publishers see the loss as minimal and creators see piracy as free advertising to drum up enthusiasm for anime adaptations, which actually do drum up decent profits internationally (the committee keeps the streaming licensing fees, not the animation studio).
