Could it be like Warhammer where they're unable to make a decent digital game since they're worried about it cannibalizing their physical good sales?

There are like a hundred Warhammer 40k games now. I haven't played tabletop myself, but Sanctus Reach looks like a pretty direct copy of the rules to PC, similar to the Battletech and Blood Bowl games.

My limited understanding is that the Total War take on Warhammer has been quite popular.

Or are you referring to a tabletop replacement style game?

The Total War situation is a bit of an odd one, it emulated Warhammer Fantasy Battles, which was discontinued in 2015, Total War: Warhammer came out in 2016. Whether this is a coincidence or GW intentionally not letting well-established Devs work on their active IPs is debatable however.
