Well, part of the reason. "Canola" is really only the edible variant, which is now a bit more than fifty years old. Older cultivars contained large amounts of erucic acid, which apparently is neither tasty nor very good for you.

I don't know whether anyone still grows the non-canola rapeseed cultivars as a cash crop.
