they didnt say, but the usual reasons are
lack of space and tax reasons

 possible that either the stats count as inventory and thus taxed (probably 
not) 
or they get to write it off their taxes as a bad investments - if the stats 
are destroyed.  
and of course storage space cost money

all the above idle speculation.

Western while good, didnt keep stats for everything - LITTLE LULU fans have 
been upset by the recent reprint book that has reinked stories.
