Because bloggers told them to.

She's like Jack Knight in that she's heavily linked to one creator, the other writers dont want to risk fucking up their pretty complete story and editorial isnt bothered about a return, so she's left alone

That is how a lot of crime stories usually end. Even when the "good guys" win, they take some heavy losses. Gotham Central had way more losses than victories though

Way I see it, it's a handful of issues:

A) Old. 2002 in internet time might as well have been the Pleistocene. If it's already hard to recommend people series that came out five years ago, imagine one that's fifteen years old.
B) Although her story is exceedingly well written and all, it's still a tough sell in a world where most queer characters are innocent, inspirational and can do no wrong. Here's a depressive alcoholic mess whose life only gets progressively worse until she drives away nearly everyone in it. Have fun trying to sell that.
C) No superpowers. It seems dumb as fuck, but a lot of modern new readers still carry the idea that comics = superheroes, and unless you're non-powered but beating the shit out of superpowered people through weird means, it's hard to maintain interest.
D) Too gritty. As mainstream comics struggle with the backlash of the 00s, most series aimed at a new audience are very joyful, happy, lightweight affairs. You try selling a hardcore police procedural with noir undertones to Squirrel Girl's audience. And on that note:
E) Too old in universe. Most of the aforementioned books star teen or young adult characters. Sell them Renee, a 30-something grown-ass woman with grown-ass woman problems.

Mind you, nearly all of these problems are more by design than by actual consequence. If the audience seems to think like this, a lot of it is down to the kind of books mainstream publishers try to sell them. There's every reason in the world to believe a part of them would embrace Renee, but it's a gamble that neither publisher seems willing to take at the moment. Plus: >>90395254
