Because the ESS Core team decided that we couldn't move fast enough to
work through the XEmacs release process to ensure timely releases,
updates, and bug fixes. The ESS package does have tools for release.

Hi!
Why ess is removed from packages mirrors?
Because the package maintainer has requested it, lack of time. Do you
volunteer as a maintainer? The sources are still in CVS.

I don't use it and not need to maintain it.
Thanks for information.

Strictly speaking, that's not true. The upstream maintainer requested
that it be withdrawn because he believes it harms the quality of his
project. Cf. AUCTeX for a similar case.
Free software is free software, and of course we can make our own
distribution if it serves our purposes. But these cases may require
more effort than a package that is simply orphaned.

Ask not how you can "do" free software business;
ask what your business can "do for" free software.
