Why should they? They didn't give XP an option to change back to Program Manager.
I suppose in a sense the answer is "because it would stop people moaning about change", but if in their beta testing they found that once people used it for ten or fifteen minutes the penny dropped, why would they? That might also explain why the new start menu wasn't changed during beta testing because it does seem incomprehensible that something so (apparently) universally loathed should be retained.
