I can quite eaily believe it and I'm rather surprised you were surprised by it.
As the other respondants have mentioned set designers have to use the part
selection very carefully to minimise costs. A Victorian arch piece is an
extremely specialised piece which would probably be used only in two or three
sets at the very most.

Perhaps the Victorian architecture line didn't test too well with children ;)
