I can think of 2 reasons:
Because Leica has bigger holes in the product line
they direly need to fill; the biggest one(s) being a digital 
offering for both M and R that complement the film
products.

Because Leica cannot afford a  slow selling product.
My reading of their financial situation is that Leica's
resources are very limited.

I personally would enjoy a 75mm f2,  especially now that
we have the Bessa R23/R3a with the dedicated 75mm
frame line.  (I am assuming that the rangefinder base is
long enough for 75mm at f2, at close range).
Using a 75mm lens on a Leica M body is distracting,
if you are also use a 50mm lens regularly because the
50/75 frame lines are paired together.
