Because of two factors:

1. It wasn't as popular as the Fred Wolf series or the Nick series. A lot of people to this day have no idea that this cartoon series existed. And even the tie-in CGI movie that came out in 2007 was barely talked about, and people assumed it was the return of the Turtles after the FW series or The Next Mutation.

2. It's not an old enough show for people to have nostalgia for yet. Unlike Fred Wolf which aired in the late 80s and early 90s, and we all know how a lot of people aged 25-40 have a lot of nostalgia for those eras. Hence all the 80s and 90s revivals we've been seeing this decade.
