2 reasons.

- The MP5 is much more expensive and time consuming to make than the UMP series. HK is there to make money, they will not make as much money on a MP5 as they do a UMP.

- The laws in Germany prevent guns of that type being produced for civlian consumption without some serious modifications. Look at the specs for the MR223 (the European version of the HK416/MR556)

That being said, the MP5 is the coolest full auto gun that I have ever shot. (I have never gotten to try a UMP)
