There's a few brands of 10w-40 FSyn High Milage. There is conventional 50wt High Milage. But not full synthetic 50 wt with seal swellers anywhere to be found. Would think someone would do a run of full synthetic 50 and dump some sweller in it. I search once every few years, have never seen it.
 
What application requires 15W-50 oil?
I know the Mustangs with the 2.3L ecoboost recommend it but only for track day use, not normal everyday driving. I have seen it also called out for use in Marine Engines but once again, a narrow application use.

I think a commercial "HM" variant oil for 15W-50 is a bit too niche for a niche grade anyways.
 
I would guess:

Marketing & narrow target audience!

Not worth splitting the 15W-50 market with a very limited shelf space.
