Sponsors don't like to be associated with things that could cause potential serious PR trouble to them. To them, WWE firing Hogan was great since it removed a big potential headache and the last thing they want is to find out WWE was never serious about the firing and now have to worry about his return looming.
Same for those within in the WWE who don't want the negative attention that will result when Hogan is brought back with open arms. Makes their anti-racism comments a lot more hollow and less sincere.
This also ties in a way to Vince and WWE being terrible at developing new mega stars because they constantly have to rely on Hogan and other former big stars to generate mainstream interest because they currently don't have any real mega stars. Same why Cena is at the stage of his career where he will constantly be inserted into high profile stuff instead of being used to develop future mega stars for the WWE.
