The reason is that he wasn't buying the individual stuff from the factory, he was buying kits and breaking them up. I suspect he started getting a huge pile of one part or another and decided to go back to just selling the whole kit.
I bought a couple of lightheads for a friend who is not in the US but rides an ebike - the batteries would have been silly for him to buy since he's already sitting on about 20 amp hours at 48 volts of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries - he just built a step-down regulator and plugged them in.
For me though, if I bought another lighthead, I'd just buy the whole thing and have the spare battery.
