Why? Maybe attaching new bits of wire to the dissolved ends wasn't possible

to replace it *for now* with a more modern part, such that the rest of the
machine could be shown working, and it doesn't rule out the possibility of
a period fix at a later date.

I was not on the Team that did the memory analysis and the ultimate
"modern" replacement memory. However, when I joined the Team, I asked
similar questions and was told that the core memory was literally
"falling apart" and was not repairable.
