Bell will make profit as a supplier to Agusta on the 609, without incurring much more risk. I'm sure that if there was a large potential market for the 609, Bell would have pushed ahead. But I believe Bell's profits now mostly come from military sales, so that's apparently where they have chosen to focus their development budgets.
