What I think you might find is something similar to what my dad thinks about the whole issue...

There is bound to be someone down the line who posts screenshots of St Paul's in a smoking heap, captioned "Hooray, I got it!" or something. This may be interpreted by those with strange minds as an anti-Christian movement, further towards terrorism, and there would be uproar, lawsuits, etc. Even worse if somebody videos a kamikaze run into the Cathedral - possibly worse outcomes still.

Personally I think it's all bollocks, but I'd say that's the most probable reason for their leaving it out. As for Westminster Abbey, it's not as 'religous' as St Paul's, generally only being used for coronations, royal weddings/funerals, etc. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

As I said, this may not be a definitive answer, but it's the best I can come up with.
Tally-ho,
