Right now, because there's no other way to cash out. The ETH you get for your stake stays locked up with your stake!

The only ETH a validator can get from validating that they can sell immediately is their take from MEV, i.e. frontrunning.

Incorrect - since the merge validators are been getting ETH1 transaction fees & block rewards (even non-mev validators)
