Why? Because they know that the 200hp that they're only barely able to achieve given 2.0 liters, na, and 7400rpm redline is close to the minimum required for this car to attract enough buyers to justify its existence.
Selling new cars is *infinitely* more important than leaving room for "modifiers", who will make up only a small percentage of buyers.
See the Honda S2000, also a car for modders, similarly very little opportunity to gain n/a hp easily.
The fact is, they're already close to the limit of what's realistically and practically achievable, not gonna be much to gain for cheap $$$.
