If it ain't broken, don't fix it, Okawara's designs have never failed in the past. So why change it?
Its not the only one. Okawara designed the Alvatore/Alvaaron too, along with the Reborns Gundam.

And Okawara's newer designs tend to sell less models then other designers'... His designs from Gundam Wing weren't nearly as popular as Katoki's, and both Gundam X and Gundam Seed Destiny underperformed when it came to model sales. Plus the most popular kits from Seed were the ones that were originally designed by BEECRAFT.
