Another factor is you must have a ship slot open to get the ship. If all your current slot are filled, you can not get another ship. So if you have several of the non-reclaimable ships you end up buying ship slots, or not having room.
There is also some confusion with the VA Reward Token where you can get one of the C-Store ships for free. This is different from purchasing the ship using Zen and as a result the ship can't be reclaimed nor does the ship then count towards the Fleet Module discount.

I think the new trend is that you have to physically go to a shipyard to reclaim them.

An expensive lesson that one compromised account can undo the hours of work and hundreds of dollars spent in good faith by a fleet.
