Perhaps one reason is that those bottles, while completely functional, tend to look pretty rough and worn out after a while, it's obvious that they've been recycled and aren't new.

Is that something a company wants to take a risk on when it comes to the psychology of consumer choice?

Market the used ones as more valuable than new.

You can always take those too worn bottles and recycle that subset into shiny new bottles..
