Probably because of the design of the older Colt revolvers and the type
of springs they used. Disassembly and fitting of new springs is not for
the faint of heart.

The Colt V-type mainspring serves multiple purposes in the mechanism. They are available and are not at all difficult to replace. A new one runs about $25. Or a weak one can be re-tempered. I have done that.
