Simple reason, time and cost.
It just doesn't makes sense to put resources in a effort which requires a lot of research, equipment and money to make a product that's only a few people are demanding.
Like it's not just about the hardware, there's almost no software on those platforms what would increase the demand even by a bit.

Consumers are moving to mobile devices, and companies have no problem using "cloud" solutions and don't care where their software is actually hosted. They do it even in cases where to me it looks like a really bad idea.
But OpenSPARC has seen the light quite a long time ago. They've published docs for a very competitive CPU for the time, esp. SMT-wise. I was very optimistic, but nothing happened 😭
