I'm pretty sure they didn't do that because runes became a currency.
I recall a blue post a long time ago mentioning how gold was not a valid currency in D2. Due to duping, SoJs became the currency.
In LoD, SoJ was still a currency, but runes became the prominent currency.
Blizzard didn't like that, and they want gold, the actual currency, to have it's value. Hence, the auction house.
I both liked and disliked the runeword system. Sure, my ebotdcb is awesome, but if I don't have it, I might as well not have a sword barb, ya know? The new system solves that problem too.
