My understanding is that the resources - by way of hardware - aren't available for a replacement to be constructed. Endeavour was largely made from existing spares. Those spares have been used up, so a lot of retooling would be needed to build a new shuttle, and that would be very expensive, and you'd still be left with a vehicle that is essentially 70s technology.
