Back when they made the movie, making-of videos were shot on video - Beta and DigiBeta. Only after DV came out did they shot in widescreen but still at NTSC or PAL resolution. At the time, prosumer HD cameras were not available.

With the advent of BD, more studios and more people will have access to prosumer HD cameras to shoot making-of videos in HD. Then it's just a matter of time that these videos make it to us on BD.

Rumor has it that Superman Returns' making-of videos were in HD. But why they are only in 480p, I could only guess.
