user1530: Why was there never a dub for Skip Beat? was originally closed but reopened when it was changed to 'Why didn't it happen' rather than 'When will it happen'
Another question appeared recently https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/22186/has-tokyo-ghoul-been-dubbed-in-english asking "Why has Tokyo Ghoul root A not been dubbed in English?" which was closed under unannounced future events.
Is it on-topic or off-topic to ask why something hasn't been done? 

user1530: As no one has formed their opinion in an answer, I propose that these should be closed as off topic as they are consistently unanswerable due to no information being available. 
Even if you were a head of a company - there are other companies too that license series. 
I think plot-related / in-story questions should stay though as these can be attributed to plot holes, other characters influences etc.

user1398: I think we can allow questions asking why as long as:

The OP includes in the question the latest news or announcement about the event, and
It must be at least one year since the date of the announcement if the announcement doesn't specify a date of the event, or at least one month since the date of the event as stated in the announcement, and
The OP have to show some evidences that the event didn't happen (basically, do your homework).
