The boring reason is that adding an option to skip means people will use it and then get stuck, complain about something that’s tutorialized and give up earlier or consider the game less fun. Games are generally mass-market products so any feature that only helps a very small percentage of buyers is much less likely to get added. Skippable tutorials on replay is definitely one of those. This is also why the tutorial gets baked into the story rather than sitting alongside.

Elden Ring was hilarious though I looked at the tutorial cave and nooped out of going that way immediately as it looked way more scary than doing anything else.
