Because ESK doesn't get you much. As I understand it, it's not a security measure - but more of an LTR area code to keep systems using the same control frequencies separate. ESK has already been 'cracked' and getting the code is no more difficult than getting the system ID for a motorola system. In fact, that may be a better analogy. It would be nice if scanners would actually use the Motorola System ID to separate systems, but that would probably require a license to prevent pattent infringement.
Withholding PV means they can still market those systems as unscannable.
