Now you could argue that management have done a poor job helping the girls to make more events and keep them disciplined and organized and thus make a stronger product to pull people in. Though, as some people are speculating as well, they could simply view EN as a side project that they don't believe can get much further even with help/simply focus resources on JP.
Like a lot things it might not be as simple as we like to think and is a varied combination of management, Western perspectives/status quo on vtubing, poor potential talent pool, simple misfortunes in the process, etc.
