Why?

It's nonsense because if Replicel is only able to maintain hairs, Shiseido won't pour so much fund into this project.
We have Fin, Dut, RU now and PGD2, CB soon for maintenance, SM and Pilofocus for regrowth.

"Might maintain for five to ten years" is not as good as regrowth with permanent effects. They gave replicel 30 million in milestones, opened their own facilty and are paying for their own trial. Replicel said they had info they didn't publish. Shiseido obviously has the faith and finances to follow through with this.

Actually we only have Fin, Dut. Most consumers on earth wouldn't touch RU with a 10 foot pole. The other things you mentioned are all still speculative and could all fail. It's logical for Replicel to continue if it can provide prevention/ thickening with a single treatment instead of daily application. I would easily opt for Replicel even if all the products you mentioned come to market and work simply because it saves a lot of daily hassle etc.
