It could well be a matter of manufacturing costs. Injection molding dies aren't exactly cheap, and if you only expect to grade a few of an odd size card a year there's no way you'll ever make that back in fees.

That's one of the advantages of the gasket/frame system SGC and a couple others have used, it's easy to convert a gasket to a different size.
