I believe the reason is that volume is too low. The radiation hardened chips for Curiosity and Perseverance are variants of Power chips made by BAE. I am surprised though that they have not released any newer chip in time for Percy. There is a newer generation, the 5500, but I believe it was not ready for Percy. Percy uses the same chip as Curio.
