Simple reason: the song represents nothing else they did in that era (or in the years prior to that) and feels greatly unconnected to the rest of Crush. At the same time, it's strikingly similar to many hits from other bands in the few years prior mentioned above.

This is what happened indeed.
The death of Bruce Fairbairn wasn't the only reason why the comeback was delayed though, the album lacked a serious hit. The record company rejected Sex Sells just like they've rejected the first version of Bounce and then the first edition of Have A Nice Day as well.
