Well this could be completely wrong, but it could of had something to do with the competitive aspect of Jynx, Magmar, and Electabuzz. Before the IV generation Magmar and Electabuzz were UU Pokemon while Jynx was BL. Maybe the thought was competitively Jynx didn't need an evolution. I know that now it has fallen into the NU tier, but I don't think all drastic tier changes can be predicted so perhaps the thought was that it would be okay. The added evolutions did help out Electabuzz who's evolution is now in OU, the same can't be said for Magmortar though. Anyways it's just a thought, I'm not saying this is right at all.

Some other thoughts that have crossed my mind and this thread is that maybe Jynx isn't that closely grouped with Magmar and Electabuzz as we thought. As others have mentioned Jynx is a dual type while the other two aren't. Not to mention Jynx is exclusively female while Magmar and Electabuzz are 75% male. Either way Jynx has always been one of my favorites and so I'm fine with it being just the way it is.
