Is that a matter of interest, marketability, availability of tapes, clearance of rights,....?
Aside from artistic merits and personal preferences of the producers, I think it's also a matter of keeping the lights on.

I am here, are people having a fight over something?
Lukas

And can it be to Fried's "Amok Time" fight music?

Lukas produced those gritty 60s and 70s scores when CD sales were booming (or solid at least) and I remember Lukas saying a lot of his releases might not get out the gate these days (with composers themselves maybe blocking them).
Things are different now, with rising costs, lower CD sales, people preferring digital options, to name but three potential obstacles.
LaLaLand have admitted they make more money from the 3rd or 4th go at a popular score/film over a below the radar release from a lesser known (or collected) composer.
The Golden Years may have passed, but the labels are still managing to get out those minor or hidden gems, amongst their latest re-re-reissue of a big selling soundtrack. They're just fewer and fewer nowadays.
As Yavar said, they know what sells and what will keep them in business.

I understand that this is a film music thread but I think fans of the tv/film work of Gil Melle, Oliver Nelson, and another composer prominent in the 70s--Patrick Williams--would find great joy in seeking out three non-film works:
Tome VI (Melle) on Verve LP from mid-sixties combined Melle's jazz quartet (Melle playing soprano sax) with a bank of electronic instruments. A wonderful hybrid of modern jazz with electronics.
The Blues and the Abstract Truth (Nelson) is available on CD and is considered a classic in jazz circles. "Stolen Moments" is a bona fide jazz standard.
American Concerto (Williams) on Columbia LP. Pulitzer Prize nominated work for small jazz group (with the great altoist Phil Woods!) and orchestra deserves a CD release, as does Tome VI.

With the limited reissues of Ivanhoe and Inchon from the end of last year, is there any chance we might get something similar for Jason and the Argonauts, which has been out of stock for a while now?

Glad to hear! Seems like all the labels are finally being able to release their planned 2020 titles!
Hopefully, and ironically, Shire's 2010.

Roger,
Any chance of Horner's "We're Back! A Dinosaur Story" from Intrada? Another fine entry performed by the LSO that would be great to have on CD again!
