because it can only be sold to Mil/LE and they don't fricking want it.
Why go with that when any number of other options are better suited to your needs?
and to be clear, yes it looks fun and I would love one. but that's not how things are.
Machining costs have drastically lowered in the last several decades, mostly because machines can just be programmed now instead of being labor intensive or needing many skilled machinists.
Stamping is still theoretically more cost effective in the long run, but it's not such a dramatic difference as it used to be, on top of stamping having a huge initial cost for the dies.
Because king fudd Bill Ruger was still in charge when they made it. Anything cool they made back then was for cops only, and if the cops didn't want it, it went right into the trash. Can't have those plebeians owning stuff for the police.
Man, super coincidentally I happened to be looking at Centerfire the other day to see if they had any more random uzi bits and bobs and saw that they had a parts kit for one of these.
If you've got three gees to spare, a piece of sheet metal or two and a MIG welder you too can own one of these weird things.

Cost/benefit
Let me know when cobray is making a profit.
>WWI-era blowback shakes like a granny with parkinsons
Who cares still aesthetic and honestly more practical than a scorpion evo or overpriced mp5 clone.
The people who need to make money and continue operating care.
Sovl is worth more.

Could be a pretty neat braced gun but they'd have to invest in stamping ($$$).
is stamping expensive?
No, it is cheaper (less man hours involved). They would just need to invest in equipment to get started.
Commie guns were milled, until they got the equipment, then they went stamped.
Isn't it more expensive to get started if stamping? The dies and machines are more expensive, no?

because it kinda sucked in Nightfire
There's the Ruger mp57
>Uzi with extra plastic dangles
Huh, can only wonder why
Uzi himself worked for Ruger to design that gun
