Why does Riot spend so much time working on random game modes just to remove them

Why can't we have rotating gamemodes again, or the ability to play them in Custom games whenever we want at the very least. You spend so much time working on things like URF/ARURF, One for All, Hexakill, Ascension, etc. just to literally never have them available to play other than a couple weeks every few years.

Why make content for the game and then remove it, just leave them up.

Because they require constant maintenance and people lose interest rapidly.

It doesn't matter if they are available only through customs or not. It doesn't change the amount of maintenance required to keep them around. Also why have a mode that is constantly eating at your resources if barely anyone is using it? Wouldn't it be better to just get rid of it and allocate those resources elsewhere?

Simple, they don't spend that much time on them
