Money is an issue. FeLV is vaccine-preventable, reducing the pressure to cure it. It's also a retrovirus, making cures harder to come by. Is there a cure for HIV? There appear to be working chronic treatments that make life nearly indistinguishable from being infected, but the only known cure is total immune grafting. VS-FCoV (the mutant we care about) appears unpredictably. It mutates from the more quotidian, diarrhea-causing feline CoV. Perhaps if we had known that there was a pandemic coronavirus on the horizon, people would have dumped more money into studying it than they did into "bioterrorism organisms", and maybe there would have been a cure by now. I agree, it would have been nice. It's an awful disease. Fundamentally, cures appear as a matter of luck. If you have more people studying a disease, you will probably find a cure sooner, but that is no guarantee.
