Because it is not enough to add the characters.
Some Windows-31J characters have incompatible Unicode mappings with
corresponding Shift_JIS characters.
The most notable example is wave dash. (Shift_JIS 0x8160.) Although this
character supposed to correspond to U+301C, Windows-31J converts 0x8160
to U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE.
Some existing implementations will be likely to be broken if the
mappings are changed.
I wonder why your customers didn't tell this fact.
