Whether a title receives a hardcover release is based on sales. Plenty of titles have shifted to softcover. It is what it is.
And aren't those issues really more fill-in issues until a new regular team was up and running?
Maybe they figure that after the last Buccellato & Manapul arc was finished they didn't really need to go the hardcover route first?
