Mostly because supporting MathJax 2 is an extra maintenance burden.
I do not see much point catering bugs of MathJax2 -> MathJax3
conversion. If users want to use MathJax2 specifically, they should be
able to customize Org to use MathJax2. If they want MathJax3, they need
to fix the options. Relying on auto-conversion is calling for trouble.
