Default Why doesnt Fox include more versions of a film on their Blu-ray releases?

I'm extremely annoyed with Fox's refusal to take advantage of seamless branching so that multiple versions of a film can be included on one disk. First instance I noticed was with Live Free or Die Hard, where only the rated version was released. I didn't see the movie theatrically because the PG-13 rating turned me off, but it would have been a day one purchase regardless for me if the Blu-Ray included both the rated and unrated versions of the film. Another instance is with Daredevil, which I happen to be a big fan of despite the grief it gets. I seem to be in the minority that prefers the theatrical cut to the director's cut, but guess I'm shit out of luck of ever getting the theatrical Daredevil on Blu.

I'm sure there are other examples of Fox doing this, and there's really no reason why they couldn't and shouldn't included both versions of a film when applicable. Universal seems to have no problem doing this. Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Role Models are two examples of films that include both the rated and unrated cuts. Hell their release of Fearless had THREE different versions of the film! Funny how Universal who started out as the enemy over at HD-DVD is putting out better Blu's than Fox who's been here since the beginning.
