I anticipate many assuming greed is the answer. I don't think thats it. If FDev just wanted more money in their pockets, they wouldn't waste time with an 11 year old game. They would push more profitable titles.
No, I think the reason is they want the game to grow.

According to FDev's financial reports, Elite makes up 7% of their total revenue. I do not know how much of that is profit, but I assume each of FDev's games are supposed to be self-sustaining. There's no evidence to suggest Elite is losing money, so why the push to increase cash flow?
