And why we'll probably never get SP DLC for GTA V, just doesn't make sense from a business perspective.

Why doesn't it make sense? It would undoubtedly make money, plus the inevitable GOTY edition of GTAV + DLC would also sell even more copies.

Option 1: re-skin and tweak already existing content, release it as new content and make loads of money with GTA Online while most devs can work on other projects (what they're currently doing)

Option 2: put an entire development team on GTA SP DLC instead of other projects to spend millions on development and not make nearly as much as GTA Online does

Option 1 is the right option for a business every day of the week.
