The compelling reason is the same compelling reason any software is made open source - you open the code up to a huge pool of talent who will improve your product for you, for free. They will fix bugs, port the game to different platforms etc, just for the sheer love of it. You just have to let them. Your concerns over the technical difficulties underestimates the skill and determination of the coding world at large.

The sales you are still getting for this 10 year old game are down to word of mouth - fans like us talking the game up and showing it to people. Opening the source would revive the interest of lot of fans, lead to more word of mouth and more sales.
