Because Daggerfall is non-existent. All you're going to do is make people wish they could play it, and wishes are unholy.

I dunno how Daggerfall is 'non-existent'. It still exists, and is
still playable.

Even if you don't have your original CD (or was it floppy disks? I
can't remember offhand), you still have plenty of options:

There's the original, still for sale. https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_elder_scrolls_chapter_ii_daggerfall
There's the Unity-engine remake https://www.gog.com/en/game/daggerfall_unity_gog_cut
There's "Daggerblivion", a mod for Elder Scrolls Oblivion https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/11549503-daggerblivion-development/
And let's not forget the massive "Beyond Skyrim" which has the "Illiac
Bay" mod in development
https://beyondskyrim.org/iliac-bay

In short, there's lot of Daggerfall still to play, and will be more in
the future.

That said, I think there are a lot of better games to play than
"Daggerfall", regardless of which version you choose. Its procedural
world was just too large and lacked character; a clear case of
Bethesda choosing quantity over quality. Fortunately, they learned
their lesson in later games (and then promptly forgot it again with
"Starfield" ;-)

But if you want to play Daggerfall, there are a lot of options
available to you these days, so have at it.

I think technically Daggerfall and the Elder Scrolls had a bit more
staying power than Diablo. I mean Diablo was massive at the time and
certainly had it's influence, but I just don't see many people still
playing it the same way that people are totally into Skyrim after over
ten years. I mean, Diablo 3 came out in 2012 and Skyrim in 2011, but I
see lots of people still deeply invested into Skyrim, and no mentions of Diablo III at all. Not even Diablo IV. But maybe I am just not looking
at the right places.

It was cd. And I still have my boxed Daggerfall, complete with all my
notes about soul bonuses and negatives, vampire clans etc.

Oh to have Daggerfall in a modern engine like the one used for Black
Desert Online.
