@Johnno137426 1. It eats into the earnings of the arcade version so manufactures are not willing to port them.
2. There is a thing called "bootlegging" — you can just consider that as arcade game piracy, which sometimes involving using modified consumer hardware/software inside arcade cabinets. A home port is basically green light for such kind of piracy.
3. Some arcade games got too complex or unique controlling scheme that cannot be translated to home hardware properly — at least without purchasing expensive properitary controllers.
