More Bots For Single Player

So lately I have been playing a lot of pbe and playing costume matches by my self full of bots, I noticed that not even half of the champions in league have theyre own AI bot, I then made a new account on the normal servers to play with a friend who is new to league, I played the tutorial while i waited for his game to download, and litteraly, the first tutorial includes Ai that arent in the options for bots in custom matches, all 5 of them were new ai, I dont rememer them all but i saw VELKOZ Yasuo And yes, i know very few people play aginst bots and stuff, but it would still be cool.

So why cant we get more AI? It would definitely take riot time but it could be cool, I honestly wonder why they made they AI but never put it into the custom matches or open in somewhere other then the tutorial,

-Any thoughts on why they have not or why they should? I think they should have this

Not only would I like to see more bot AIs in custom/practice mode, I'd also love it if Riot made a jungle algorithm for the intermediate types, too, so you can practice against an enemy jungler who farms, invades, ganks, etc. And it wouldn't be much harder to do than a Pac-Man ghost.

Has Riot said if this is a bug or deliberate? Either way, I hope they use the opportunity to make some QoL changes to coop, including the addition of a jungle ai, and maybe removing the xp cap and adding champ mastery (which is simply a measure of how much time a player uses a champion, and which I care about for the little ribbon you get in the corner of the loading screen, not the loot, as it is easier to buy the skins I want rather than hope to win them).

Unfortunately, the trend is that Riot is actually decreasing the bots available in customs. Malzahar, Irelia and Swain were all available as custom AIs, but they were removed after their rework. I also remember Fizz and Jinx available in custom game mode. Right now, my most satisfying game mode is custom 4 vs 4 (1 human, 7 bots, no jungler) where I play (and build) support. The bots have their own mind, and playing as a support causes less snowball in the game. Recent changes made PvP less enjoyable (not to mention toxicity), and Riot even messed up the Coop vs AI game mode (it is 5 vs 4 now, because one bot goes AFK). There are much more AI available in coop vs AI mode, and Riot should make them available in custom games, too.
