Same reason why Porsche doesn't build a Cayman that will be higher performing than the 911 platform or race them even though those cars will be superior to win against the competition.
Porsche will simply use price point to differentiate. The LE is a limited "collectors" RS, although I'm sure a decent percentage will be tracked. The "std" GT3RS should be a good $50k less that the LE. So all of a sudden remaining GT3RS at dealers become a great value. Porsche wins on both fronts.

what would the weight savings be if they threw the 2RS CF parts onto a 3??? this LE could actually be in the "spirit" of the Speedster ... i.e a cosmetic exercise, maybe with some of the 2RS suspension parts thrown in for good measure!!!

and no Michelin Pilot Super Sports too boot! :0
