Because while Earth-2 was considered A canon for the Golden Age, it wasn't considered the definitive universe and thus was only occasionally seen (fading out when the Superman Family books were discontinued.)

It would be like Canon-Clark never marrying Lois (and instead trying to get out of her knowing and therefore marriage) while Alt-Clark getting married and only occasionally seeing him. To most of the readership they weren't considered married (Lois broke off her relationship with Superman when she got tired of his excuses and Clark was dating Lana at the time.)
I think they thought of it as semi-canonical. It wasn't seen as the main universe and thus not "canon." With the 90s marriage it was kind of seen as "official."
Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, wouldn't it have been funny if Lois had thrown into Alt-Dimension back in S1 and Alt-Clark was married to his Lois?
