How should they ? They have no clue which of the 20 datasets was actually useful to solve your structure.
If you ask James Holton he has (suggested) to go back to the archived data after a certain time and try to solve the undeposited structures then :-) [Where is James anyhow ? Haven't seen a post recently from him] Seriously, I think it is in our own interest to submit the corresponding images which led to a structure solution somewhere. And as others mentioned bad data or good data can always serve for educational purposes.
