Mozart himself was an improviser. However, my thought on this is that there is a certain amount of respect or reverence for the MASTERS, and rather than running the risk of distracting from, or diminishing any of the original notation, musicians would prefer to err on the side of being historians first (I fall into that camp if there is such a camp).
As the composer becomes more "contemporary," there is less "awe factor." Certainly in the jazz or "popular" styles of music one tempted to a greater degree to add their own personal touches.
The other great factor is the types of musicians who are drawn to those different styles. Speaking for myself, I see my self as an interpreter of music, NOT a creator. To that end it is my job to bring the composers intent to life, not to change it. One who is more inclined to jazz looks at the world of music differently from the start.
