If I'm not mistaken, with a three-bladed rotor you can get ground resonance, which is not an issue in an R22/R44. So in addition to a completely new rotor head, the Robinson would also need appropriate dampening means, e.g. in the landing gear. All of which would lead to a rather more complex aircraft.
