I can't speak to these particular documentaries, but one issue that has affected releases of older TV shows is that when they were produced, the idea of online streaming and distribution - or sometimes even DVD/Blu-Ray - did not exist. Therefore, the rights acquired for the music and/or visuals do not permit those forms of distribution. If the series is popular enough, the music may be relicensed or replaced, but in many cases the production just ends up out of circulation.
