Why Not Expand Nimbus Maze into a Complete Cycle?

Duskmourn is introducing two new cycles of dual lands, and one of those cycles is very similar to Nimbus Maze, so I wonder why WotC could not have simply expanded Nimbus Maze into a half-cycle of five allied-colored dual lands, rather than making another incomplete cycle of dual lands, since that would have made more sense, to me, and this issue is even more egregious in that it would take twenty lands to complete this cycle, which is made even worse still in that these lands appear to represent specific locations on Duskmourn, rather than lands that could be set anywhere in the multiverse, as is the case with Nimbus Maze.
What does everyone else say about this? Why has WotC printed another cycle of dual lands, which it would have been better to have expanded Nimbus Maze into a full cycle? I certainly am interested to hear your responses.
I think it's a fair question to ask. And personally I think the new cycle is because Wizards probably didn't like the templating on Nimbus Maze for some reason. It might be that the new cycle would technically require 20 cards to complete as opposed to 10. I think it's every so slightly worse than Nimbus Maze, but both are pretty similar.

Coward_Token, there are many questions that I would like to ask Mark Rosewater, but I would rather not make an account on another platform, if I can avoid doing so, as that would simply be another account of which I would need to keep track, which is not a good thing.

Why ask us uninformed masses whose general answer will be shrug when you could ask directly like...90% of what you post you can just direct to him and get a much more satisfying answer

Just to be very clear, posting only to say “You should not be posting” is effectively gatekeeping others’ usage of the site. If you don’t like the content of a thread, just ignore it - you don’t have to comment only to tell someone else you don’t like their posting style, that’s just rude.

Maybe Nimbus Maze is just too similar to the Tainted Cycle? Honestly i'm just as surprised as you that this wasn't completed as well.

Mark Rosewater is right here, make a Tumblr account and ask him
