My selection of greatest track hits from these films!
Better artwork Disney eh?!

Track 6...heart wrenchingly beautiful mon ami. 
Track 28: Requiem is also very poignant. Overall, between the fantastic Ifukube cues and those by the new composers to the series, this album is a must have.

My guess -- no. Can't imagine why any label would do that.
---------------------------------------
I was thinking at the time of release, and if vinyl was cost-prohibitive, so they only went for cassette. Seems unlikely, I agree. But you still have movies that are only available on VHS.
At the time most of those VHS movies were released, tape was the only format for video. When cassette sound recordings were in their hey-day, vinyl had been the standard for 40 years and still was. Tape never really became a successor to vinyl, but was a contemporary competing format. There was no reason not to issue both vinyl and tape.
But, were it not for the CD, cassettes may have become a successor format. Cassette sales overtook vinyl sales in 1983. But given the sound limitations of tape, I don't believe it ever would have totally replaced vinyl. Tape was just a more convenient format for some applications (autos, people outdoors). But the writing for both formats was on the wall when CDs were introduced in 1981. The CD was a successor format because it had the sound advantages of vinyl and the convince of tape.
During a change-over period in formats, there is a greater likelihood that something will be issued exclusively on one format or another. This is more likely to happen as the declining format reaches lower levels. It's least likely to happen when the formats are at 50-50. Thus, when LPs held sway, plenty of them did not get a cassette release. But since cassettes didn't last long enough to hold a substantial majority of the market, it's much less likely that there were cassettes that didn't have an LP release.
A better comparison is to look at successor formats. As you mentioned, there are films that have not been released on DVD. But there are also records/tapes that have not been re-issued on CD.

Wonderful, moody score by one of our greatest composers.

Shame this gorgeous masterpiece was written for such a twee, garish, embarrassing movie.
I'll be listening to this for the first time today!
Spent this morning listening to JG's Black Patch and wishing for a reissue. This is definitely not like most (if any besides his own) Western soundtracks. I especially like how many emotions it touches base with.
