Presumably for the same reason that EASA haven't grounded all the A320s or EC145s recently. EASA will ground a type when they have a reason to do so, not when they don't have a reason not to.
If EASA grounded all the 225s and then subsequently the investigation into LN-OJF cannot come up with a definitive answer, do we then leave all those dozens and dozens of 225s to rot over one mystery incident? Very hard to undo a grounding without a good reason why.
3 weeks ago an EC225 crashed killing everyone on board for an as yet unknown reason.
5 days ago an A320 crashed killing everyone on board for an as yet unknown reason.
How many offshore workers have since flown out of/back to Aberdeen on A320s without a murmur?
Ask them to get on a 225: "no chance"!
