What's with not connecting shell to plastron?

Why do artists and many figure molds (such as the high-esteemed Playmates and Sideshow statues) not connect the shells to the plastrons? Okay, I guess for artists it's artistic interpretation. But why not connect them? Why do you think Sideshow and Playmates didn't connect them? It's unrealistic. (The retort of "but they are mutated turtles, that isn't realistic is not accepted).
