Lack of money. I'm sure most translators would be happy to do a better job if they were given the time and money necessary to do so.

Also I'm not certain Crunchyroll's new player can even render the subtitles while also rendering more English text for the name. There was a lot of concern about that when they switched tooling.

Lack of love by whoever paid for the translation.

Well I can agree with that. Crunchyroll has been on the decline ever since Sony bought them.

CR's new player can actually do this, but Chainsmoker Cat is not done by CR. This is on Netflix

That's a relief!
