I'm actually interested in seeing what both of them would look like, especially Alolan Pichu considering Alolan Raichu gained the Psychic type.
The same reason Cubone and Exeggcute didn't get Alola Forms.
Laziness.Though in Pikachu's case it was likely more along the lines of them not wanting to alter its design significantly, whereas Cosplay Pikachu is just a Black-tipped Tail and Cap Pikachu is just Pikachu with various Ash Caps.

cubone didn't get a form because ghost-type marowak is pure gen1 pandering
Because they already have forms: Spiky eared Pichu and the cosplay Pikachu. Raichu needed love

Because baby Pokémon were a mistake game freak is trying to scrub out of Pokémon history.

Is the pokemon fanbase the only one to get this mad over neat references to previous games?
There's a big difference between things like Alolan Marowak and Charizard/Mewtwo getting two megas.

Rip ;_;
Why no alolan magnezone? It would make perfect sense

This "laziness" argument is dumb. They could just recolor, retype and call it a day.

For the same reason as Probopass: they aren't first gen Pokémon.

The Pokemon fan base is a bunch of crybabies honestly

Exeggecute would still be the same. It's exeggutor that doesn't grow properly in other climates. It'd kinda go against the claim that alolan exeggutor is the true growth pattern if the base seeds were different.
Cubone is useless mandibuzz food, so it fucking died.
Really though, cubone is kinda weird with the full type change. It maybe should've gotten a form. I don't think there was any significant reason it didn't, and I don't think it went against the theming for alolan marowak.

Spiky earred should've been its A-form. ;_;
Poor little guy for condemned to just two games.
