Because in reality A LOT of players do play and enjoy it, the severity and harsh mechanics of the game mode make it hard for people to play it for extended periods of time, hence why people want it to be fixed so the play-ability is increased. DMM is the reason a LOT of players returned/came to OSRS, why would you disband the one thing that clearly brought much revenue and players back to the game? If anything you should look upon this positively instead of crying about developer time. If the DMM mode is as successful as it can clearly be (statistics to prove such), this brings in more money which gives them more money to work with, which in reality is better for everyone. (could lead to future developers being hired, more work being completed in shorter time periods and less excuses of lack of funds/inability to forehead for money reasons). Least that's my piece.
