There probably is a combination of reasons including the originality police.

Originally, those tractors (10-20, 15-30, 22-36) were on steel wheels. They were a bit cumbersome since they couldn’t turn very short and had no “road” gear. Unless they have been converted to rubber, they are hard to move from place to place. This makes them less practical to use today than the letter series or the F-12/14/20/30 as aftermarket overdrives are available for them. There weren’t a lot of them made, and they were operated by the generation that well advanced in years and dwindling fast. Most of us are fascinated with the McCormick Deering tractors, (I have two 22-36’s that are patiently waiting for work) but probably grew up with the letter series and later tractors with the conveniences of a starter, faster gearing, rubber tires, lights, etc. We remember our youth and the nostalgia of the bright red tractors that were our first lesson in driving.

My two cents worth…
