I'm surprised this is even legal. Why do we not have a law requiring credits to properly give credit?

We do, standard contract law. If your contract says you should be getting credit, and you aren't given credit, that's an enforcable contract violation.

The correct answer is because game developers are, as a rule, not unionised. No one is pushing developers or publishers to properly credit their staff, so a lot of them simply don’t.

That is some 1980s shit - like giving devs forced nicknames, to prevent other companies from poaching them.
