Several reasons

(1) In WITP upgrades are applied on a "class" basis - and Mogami was a "one off".

(2) This conversion which occurred to Mogami was specifically driven by the heavy damage she sustained in the "raming" event with Mikuma during the Midway operation, which totally destroyed her No. 5 turret. This "raming"event is not a forgone conclusion and will be "unlikely" to happen in a WITP game, hence the "driver" for the conversion will not happen in the game.

(3) Her post-conversion air complement varied from between 5-8 seaplanes (otherwise known as "float planes" in the game) and hence characterizing her as a "CVE" would tend to be misleading. "Scout Cruiser" might be a closer desgination. But she carries 3 float planes in the game, and increasing the float plane complement to 5 or even to 8 would not be likely to make a huge diffference in the out come of the game, hence perhaps the original designers felt this was an unnecessary "detail" and could be ommitted. Many changes occurred to other ships which are not represented in the game, this is just one case in point.
