So Wolfman was asked to finish off Dick and Kori and shipped Dick back to the Batman Family, where it's more profitable, and maybe start a relationship that's gaining traction in their more popular media.
So at first, things just fell into place. At first.
Years later though, with Dick and Babs firmly established in and out of comics, they started to redefine Dick's relationship with Kori, saying things like he doesn't really love her.
But the Teen Titans cartoon happen and reignite or begin a new batch of Dick Kori shippers
But by this point, Dick and Kori haven't been dating for more than 10 years I think, Dick and Babs are established in comics, Dick is established as a street hero, Batman family titles remain popular but Titans never got to the popularity and sales they had in the NTT days...
So there's no incentive for higherups to let Dick and Kori back together in Titans when they can't keep that book floating... or don't want to because they view Titans unnecessary group in between Justice League and Teen Titans.
Batman family is more profitable, they personally like it, the DickBabs pairing is known to the world, the Teen Titans show popularity doesn't translate to comic... bringing back Kori as Dick's lover again means involving her in the Batman Family or his street level series if they want to make sense, and it will change all the image they've built for 10 years at least. It's easier to just keep her away and continue with what they already have.
At the very least though, they don't dare marrying Dick off because, on top of making him older, they know there are tons of fans of both pairings.
