Cost and customer resistance.
A clean sheet monocoque EV bus design would cost hundreds of millions to design test and tool. That is a huge risk to take on an untested segment and would significantly add to the cost of each vehicle.
Also commercial customers hate change. They want to keep using their old tools, parts, and training.
