Thats bit like asking why digitise a photo taken in 70's to display on your 'hi-res' monitor, when in fact the monitor has not yet been invented to fully justify a quality photo
I'd guess 'none' of it was recorded digitally ('SD' by your definition) and that most of it was recorded on film/video tape which would not only stand being converted to be broadcast at todays lousy 1080i digital res but in the case of actual "films" could be scanned at as much as 5000 before broadcast PQ stops improving, so you will need to wait along time before you get chance to see those films in their full glory
