Probably a market research gave the record company no great sales expectations about the old FM albums reissues or deluxe editions. And they are interested in $, not the legacy.

This is all true, of course. But Rhino has rereleased boutique or cult records. Kiln House and Mystery in particular fit each of those.
When members of Guns and Roses are citing Bob Welch and Kirwan as inspiration, it's clear those obscure records have a following.
