In short, I think 2K is waiting to grab a few more bills from your wallet.
So untill they can charge us for their bonus content pack, they can not release the editor, or else we will get them for free anyway.
Evidence: Most of my evidence comes from the many .ini files that come straight from installing the game.
Lets take a look.

The same can basically be seen for AirBlastTwo, EVE Saver, VendingExpert, and Machine Bully.
There are many other plasmids that have the ; infront of their variables, meaning they are not read. These include, ElectricBoltZero, LifeDrain(3 versions), TelekinesisTwo, Revival (";; THESE ARE COMMENTED OUT UNTIL IMPLEMENTED IN ShockDesignerClasses")
Human Inferno has its locked content set to true.
There also appears to be an entire section for an unused plasmid type.
