It's been 15+ years since so things might have changed but they had to approve packaging, which had to comply with a set of standards I remember it being a hassle to do collectors editions for console games vs PC games because of the extra steps and lead times involved

Pretty sure the boring answer is that if they included the game then the whole thing would have subject to platform approvals
