Why BGA is not focusing on Solo/Scenario Games?

It would be nice to have some solo games with scenario like Legacy of Yu or Arkham horror in the portfolio.

Largely speaking, BGA doesn't make the game implementations anymore. Take a look at the News tab and notice how they credit the game's developers in each instance. So it's not a matter of BGA themselves not focusing, but the individual publishers or developers.
Speaking as one of those developers, I don't think your assessment is even accurate. My most recent seven releases are Maracaibo (just this week! give it a try!!), Envelopes of Cash, Great Split, Daybreak, Spots, Streets, and Astra. Of those all have solo modes except Great Split. (Great Split is an I-split-you-choose game where solo mode wouldn't make any sense.)
The game I'm currently developing also has a solo mode.
So... there are lots of solo games available, even if it's not the two you're specifically looking for.

I love Spots! Thanks for the list of these solos - time to check them out!

If you go to the games page and click solo - over 100 games will pop up!
