Because at some point, it becomes a bit like trying to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of time, and it annoys the pig.
But seriously - anecdotal stories about people who say "I used to be an XYZ" do not represent the level of activity for each and every NPC/NIC organization. Us non-NPHC folks seem to say that over and over, but no one seems to hear it, or they always counter it with "Well, Mary Jane on my job says blah-blah." Why is that? Why does it seem that we waste so much bandwidth trying to convince people who won't be convinced? I've known several people who, even though the oaths they made to their NPHC organizations were "for life", refer to their affiliation in the past tense. So does my anecdote carry any weight, or will it be dismissed because I'm in a NPC organization?
