We already know why they don't.
When the Twelve pulled away from Hydaelyn, they became mostly unable to directly interfere in what is happening in the world (though, interestingly, Liousoix supposedly made a bargain with Thaliak, iirc, that resulted in the Warrior of Light being transported through time to the point where ARR starts). Â If they were to actually intervene directly (which is what Liousoix was trying to have happen when he attempted to bind Bahamut), it very well might kill Hydaelyn. Â Because, yeah, it takes aether to do that. Â A lot of aether. Â More aether than Hydaelyn can afford to lose.
P.S. @Vachir: That's not actually meant. But, I don't really want to go into detail here. If you want my thoughts on the subject, hit me up in PMs.
Edited to Add: I want to say that the way the story is told, it's implied that it's mankind's fault that the Twelve left in the first place. We were screwing everything up, and they were like, "The hell with you all, we're taking our toys and going home." And they've never been back. And it's our fault. D:
