I asked Megumi about this, and her best guess is that it's so unclear who would even own the rights to Virtual Lab anymore, that there's no established entity that Nintendo could negotiate with for it -- if they even wanted to include the game on the service in the first place. A shame for sure.
Saddened that the Virtual Boy collection does not include Virtual Lab, a puzzle game made by a trans woman who, in no uncertain terms, designed the on-screen character to have big breasts because she too wanted boobs, but couldn't afford top surgery.
I hope she's having a good day today.
