They could have asked the community to volunteer with maintaining the translations. I'm fairly certain there would be people willing to do that for at least some of these languages.

Yeah, Microsoft has always been all about consistency.
Seriously though, if it's really about it, then why not include these languages in other apps as well with a community-driven translation?
The likely real reason for the removal of these language versions is that the places where they are used are not major markets for iOS devices. But then it's not like they were either when Outlook for iOS was being released in the end of 2015. And if the iOS and Android apps were consistent internally, then 90% of the translation strings would probably overlap, so the overhead of maintaining the additional translation for the iOS version would be minimal.
