Problem is they have to rework all the armor for that, not to mention changing armor with no light at all into light armor. Giving it good stats, balance them out etc.
I'm sure it was already a pain in the ass doing that for all legendary armor and weapons. Lot of coding going was going on for making that possible. I guess something similar happened when they made the forging stuff for perks for the new legendar, weapons, but not the pre-dlc stuff.
I would love to see a feature like that in the future. The blue hunter armor you constantly get as reward from ROC strike (forgot the name) looks amazing.

All of the armor was completely upgradable to max light level before E3 2013. It was leaked by bungie themselves. The game was completely reworked after that and turned into an RNG mess. That's why we couldn't upgrade anything to max light, except the raid gear.
