Probably financial and it’s far more difficult, relatively

Aside from Laika and Aardman studios (and even then I think Aardman has gone digital as of late) and a film called anomalisa is the most recent film to do it (I think)- and I don’t think it did well enough financially to warrant others/sequels

You’re essentially taking pictures of every single frame you’re going to use in the motion picture – and it takes forever (look up the behind scenes for early robot chicken, they had to retrofit a Nintendo power glove because of the monotony of the shoots and a 15 sec skit would take.. a while to shoot)

You may as well go full animated or full live action
