I suspect that one of the reasons is that for many mythweb still works and provides a lot of the functionality required.  Yes, a technically better solution could be implemented; but it's not always reinventing the wheel what scratches an individuals itch.

If mythweb was to become incompatible with a major release, then it might create some motivation.  That said; if mythweb did disappear, we may also see people looking for alternatives to MythTV if no alternative was readily available ...
