"High resolution discrete R-2R converters that reliably retain high accuracy are non-trivial to design and consistently manufacture".
This also seems to be the case for 44.1/16 R-2R Dacs. Audio Note (UK) has been working on one for a few years, but it seems stalled due to these issues.
Follow Ups:
Last I heard, it was an issue of reliably and consistently being able to produce resistors to the required precision for each DAC - at a reasonable cost re resources, time, people, rejection rate. R-2R Monolithic chips of old can be seen to be quite an achievement, in this light, especially the 'K' or 'S1, S2' variety.

"... only a very few individuals understand as yet that personal salvation is a contradiction in terms."
And I think they built their own equipment to try to reach precision perfection. It hasn't been easy or cheap, I guess.
