For most affiliate programs these days probably 90% of their sales come from ad networks, media buyers, etc. who don't need any free promo tools, just good ads.
For most of them it's not worth spending all the time on creating all the promo tools and having support for the 1000s of 'small accounts'. They rather put that time and money into creating the best banners for the networks and their big affiliates and also things like backend development, billing flow optimizations, machine learning, etc. as that makes them more money.
It's a business, the old school affiliate model is pretty dead so I can imagine they don't want to put more time and money into that but focus on the things that work instead.
As others mentioned there are still some programs left that get most of their sales from affiliates and still update their promo tools like clockwork so the best is to switch to those kind of programs if you still need those.
