Well, perhaps you should look at it from a sales perspective.
Diesel engines (IMO) look like a shoebox with wheels. The trains currently
on shop.lego.com are far more interesting to look at (IMO) than a diesel
engine would be.
Things that aren't interesting to the consumer generally don't sell very
well. TLC is probably counting on more than just the die-hard train nuts to
drive sales, so they probably are trying to make the trains as interesting
as possible to people like me who aren't train nuts.
Of course, I could be completely off-base, but that's kind of what it looks
like from here.
