All they would do is create another equipment file and then adjust the client to load the new equipment file when the client logs in like normal. Maybe they don't do it because it isn't in the budget (extremely ridiculous excuse), or maybe they don't do it because it would cause a heavy performance hit to the client (unlikely, but not as ridiculous of an excuse). I am fairly confident that if I was given the tools to edit the EQG files easily, I could make new armor set textures for all races and all armor types in a couple of weeks. My artistic skills are nothing compared to people who do it professionally, but I bet I could pull something decent off. If distributing those files wasn't a legal risk, I would probably make special sets just for my server right now!.

Back when they put out Luclin engine they SPECIFICALLY stated that new engine in so many ways superior, specially cause how textures of armor now overlays the model, rather than replaces its texture, that they can now EASILY produce many more new armors looks, as easy as 1-2-3.
Of course those those greedy bastards never did...
