As far as I know, no explaination was formally given for their absence. They may be due to legal disputes with the Tolkien estate and Marvel Comics respectively, but that is a wild guess.
I think that's it. Even D&D don't use the word Mithril. Mind you, they call it MithrAl. A small change, but it seems to matter.

Out of interest, what's the Marvel reference? Do they do a LoTR comic book or something?
