Because nearly every service auto from 1911 until the '70s has become obsolete. Those designed since then, Glock et al, are made to be cheap to build, light to carry, simple to operate, and durable in the field. That gets them government contracts.
The 1911 is made to shoot. Getting a good 19th/early 20th century design made right in the 21st runs the cost up, but I think it is worth it.
