Is it due to movie franchise recognizability?
Feathers can't be more difficult to animate, although maybe animated movement might be more expensive (more 'shots' for moving feathers - I'm reminded of Ariel's hair underwater and how it was seen as both revolutionar and expensive when the animators made the hair flow underwater)
feathers would have given the new toy line an edge too, in that the new line would be different from the older ones, making it interesting for both kids and collectors
some pros and cons, just thinking out loud here
The Raptors in JP3 had feathers. Something like a T Rex might not have had many feathers anyway.

They did. Evolution. Post Late Cretaceous was the Paleogene Period (66 myo - 26 myo I believe) contained large flightless birds such as the Gastornis. Also, after the Deccan traps and the meteorite that killed the age of the dinosaurs, Cenozoic Era (age of the mammals) atmospheric conditions are a lot different than in the Mesozoic Era that contained larger animals due to high pressure and higher temperatures.
Then again, theropods have evolved into some strange modern day birds. Chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese.

Larger animals needed a lot of food to survive, the bigger dinosaurs couldn't make it but smaller therapods survived and evolved into birds.
They did some selective gene editing and gave a chicken teeth a few years ago.
