Because they don't want some of the money, or even enough of the money. They want all of the money, and think all you have to do is copy a successful game to get it.

Moreover, like Hollywood, the gaming industry is largely run by people who truly do not understand the thing they're there to make. All of the C-levels still think it's the early 2000s where you could shit out anything that looked like a popular game and make 20 billion dollars from it. They think their entire market is dumb kids who will mindlessly play whatever is put in front of them without regard to polish, story, or even playability.

And chasing trends when it can take up 5 years or more to complete a project is utterly moronic.
