Possibly because most "captured" Lugers were obtained second hand, i.e. not directly off "The Dead German" and including the belt made it more cumbersome to keep and store. Also, most Lugers actually captured in combat were worn by NCOs, whose belt also contained a canteen, ammo pouches, two to three loops for the leather combat harness, a entrenching shovel, bayonet, breadbag, possibly a map case, etc. It was much easier for a conquering GI to simply cut the belt and pull the holster off.
