Because they don't have a mold for it. A new mold for that cap would probably cost in the realm of $3,000+.
I'm not exactly sure why (probably something about the mold costing too much $$$) but that's how a DCS ISO Enter key looks with a DSA keyset :Show Image(http://cdn.keypuller.com/2014/07/DSC_5192_-1280x852.jpg)

I was aware they didn't have the mould but it would seem like a strange omission, I was wondering if there was some reason it was less than ideal to produce (other than volume demanded).
Volume is the only issue, ISO is a minority. This is why most sets don't include all the ISO keys. There aren't enough users.

Yeah, I suppose DSA also has no pressure to make a unique 2u for the short shift and they can just ignore ISO, it still rankles at my completionist gland though.
I wonder if I could round up enough ISO users with the same itch, it'd be an investment in the future afterall :)

The short shift is a 1.75u and it exists because caps lock/ control is a 1.75u, I suppose if you talked to Melissa you may be able to get a DSA ISO enter if people will fund it.
Either way, both already have molds because they are common key sizes.Volume is the only issue, ISO is a minority. This is why most sets don't include all the ISO keys. There aren't enough users.

If you're talking about ISO's short left shift, that's a 1.25, actually. 1.75 shifts are found on layouts with a 1u FN to the right of the right shift which is reduced from 2.75 to compensate. Normal left shift is 2.25.

I asked SP in January about it and asked now againShow Image(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/01/1eedcf04f4a0d8ff94ee0d589515a97c.jpg)if there is a eta by now.

These blank ISO Enter keycaps are already available in DCS profile.
You should have a look at SP keyshop (http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/blank-key-packs/dcs-iso-enter).
