Why aren't bugged maps like Swamp removed from rotation until they can be fixed?

Serious question as, the swamp maps currently have a LOT of issues. This isn't about bringing those issues to light as, I've already seen threads about that. What I'm asking though is.. Since these set of maps have so many issues, why hasn't Behavior like, emergency removed them from rotation? Have they ever done this before or in the past? I'm a relatively new player and in other games when a map is severely bugged they usually take it down immediately until it functions properly again and then they'll add it back in. It sucks in this case because like, if we don't bring map offerings there's always that slim chance we'll go to the swamp maps and then have to deal with these unnecessary problems on both sides.

Also if this has been asked before I apologize.

For those who don't know there are areas where you can't fit through openings in trees, can get hooked on invisible edges, can't move in certain areas at all, generators will appear to have 3 sides you can work on but only ONE survivor can work on it and only from one side and probably more.

    They are certainly capable of taking maps out of rotation since I know they have done it before for a map that had game breaking bugs. Apparently they are either ignorant to the bugs it has or they think that the bugs aren't worth putting in the effort to disable the maps. Haven't ran into anyone abusing the trees yet which is surprising. The gen issue I found out recently is a pain since multiple gens can spawn like that which can make getting the last remaining gens done a pain.

    I believe for time last year they had removed Badham, I forget exactly what was wrong on that map.

    I think problem is each realm has terrible issues. The Coldwind Farm maps have totem spawns that you cannot break the totems. This is terrible when the killer is running Devour Hope and you have no way to get rid of such a strong perk. Really they should have better resources put towards game health to fix issues, and do it in a more timely manner instead of waiting for chapter/mid-chapter patches.
