Don't sacrifice a viewing of this masterpiece with such an abysmal presentation, even if they paid you.

My guess is that they had access to the closed captioning files, which are text-based. It's simple to generate a new subtitle stream from that to drop into a 1080p Blu-ray disc authoring project. However, the subs for the DVD releases were image-based, meaning hundreds of 720x480 TIFF files per episode, each one a page of subtitle text made up of 4 colors. I know because I was the one who made them.
They might have had access to those but thought it would be too much trouble to run them through OCR. Or more likely just didn't realize that they were two different things, so they didn't bother to compare them.
If you watch anime on Netflix and see subtitle selections for "English" and "English SDH", that's the difference. The former is the translation of the Japanese, the latter is the closed captioning for the dub.
