It's possible the original artists declined for their songs to be allowed to be included - it might not have been a financial decision.

Also, if you want to cover a song on video you have to pay a Sync Licence fee even before royalties. Some bands, like The Beatles, that fee is ridiculously high. This fee doesn't apply to audio only - only when it's being synced to video. The same licence is needed if being used in a movie or tv show etc
