Because they overestimate the attachment people have to individual lightsabers and don't want to get rid of Anakin's, despite virtually every Jedi in canon breaking/losing and replacing their saber repeatedly. The growing deification of lightsabers throughout the years is more a reflection of fan culture rather than the original films.

I mean, Luke getting his father's lightsaber was treated like a big deal in the OT, as well as losing it and then creating his own. It wasn't until the PT that you had Anakin losing sabers all over the place and using loaners.
