It's likely to be an economic decision. How often is the ILS out of service and what is the cost to the airport? And how much does it cost to operate and maintain a VOR?

Bear in mind also that it won't be long before RNAV approaches are available at many airports and there will be no infrastructure costs associated with such approaches - maybe a good back up to ILS.
