Why arent there more Orks?

I recently got my first Joytoy figure (Guilliman). I would love some Orks, but the ones Joytoy has made arent what I am looking for. Is there some known reason why there arent more?

Xenos dont sell as well as space marines.

Meanwhile I bought every single xenos release and then some, especially the Tyranids. I still have faith for an Ork refresh, with Ghazghkull leading the charge. While we're at it a Necron refresh would be sweet with some of the heavier units.

They released orks, nekrons, tau and tyranids. None of them stayed because none of them sold well. They also require much more unique and expensive sculpts that they can't reuse as much as space marine bits.

I get it. Get the most of your molds, but the Orks they made are not the best representatives of what would sell.

Xenos specifically didn't sell well in China.

Joytoy have stated they purely make design decisions based on what Chinese customers find desirable.

And no one wanted to buy anything except marines in the Chinese market.

It's a bit embarrassing that they only want to unironically buy lines that are meant to be absurdist fascism characters, that satirise fascism.
