Because a) I think the .2 will only be around for 2 more model years before the 992 nows. It'll therefore be too close to the end of the 991 life cycle (and too close to the end of the .2 RS production) b) another NA RS won't have the performance to compete with Ferrari, Lambo or McLaren in a few years. The game will have (actually it has) moved on. If the new RSR is turbo as speculated, that will be the final nail in the NA .2 RS coffin.
Enter GT2 RS as the ultimate and final 991 rendition, save for an ultra limited 4.2 cup edition which will mainly be a collector's car a la 911R.
I agree with Laguna that Porsche will pump out many .2 GT3's.

The fact that the 992 will be introduced somewhat later shouldn't influence the dollar signs rolling in front of the VW executive eyes. They are digging out of a massive financial hole with the VW emissions fiasco. The RS is a proven financial winner. Why drop it?
That said, I am uncertain if Porsche will build it despite good reasons for doing so.
