One potential reason is that their release cycle is too fast for the official Debian repositories, and they don't want to slow it down. Supporting old versions is a cost they don't want to bear.

All of their builds have shelf lives of 90 days. You must update at least that often or your app will stop working, so it's a non-starter for inclusion in the official Debian repos.
