...its not?

No. It's not.

Chiefly because Starcraft is not a normal game.

This is a game that defined a cultural generation in South Korea, established e-sports singlehandedly and in many ways made the RTS genre what it is today.

It should be archived. Even if it can never be released due to copyright or other legal nonsense it shouldn't be left to a commercial entity to ensure it survives.

So, if I were an influential person, should my private diaries also be made public, even though I have no wish to share them?
I have a bad news for you: this is usually exactly what happens.
After one's death, it's no longer their business what happens to their secrets. One has no dog in the race any longer.
Sure, but AFAIK Blizzard is not dead yet.
