Perhaps because all of the horns you mention either were no longer being produced or were in very limited production. Alexander has been a popular horn in Japan, and Yamaha may have not wanted to go "head to head" with an active maker, though it would be interesting to compare an Alexander 103 with a Yamaha copy. There have been copies of the 103 from time to time from other makers (Boosey & Hawkes, Paxman, and some German makers).
