Chains are cheap, simple to work on, and strong. Shaft drives weigh more. When you are talking about building a truly fast bike, weight is your number one issue. When you are talking about a manufacturer building a bike for under $10k a $20 chain that works wonderfully, its a no brainer. At the end of the day Triumph has its share of bean counters happy to shave a little here or there in the pursuit of profit margins.
