If I remember right, their sentience would wane anyway. As for why they didn't bring them back? I got no clue. Maybe the Old World had no frogs so bringing them back would be making them invasive species.

Or maybe they were abandoned by order of the Forum (Specifically the Bibliothecs) with the intention of waiting for their sentience to diminish and locking the secrets of the ability to uplift animals' intellect away to avoid Garemald's attention (Since they A: had an Eorzean colony and B: Garelemald was invading primarily to exterminate the beast-like (or plant-like in the Sylphs' case) beastmen due to the Primals, and thus would be suspicious of any sentient non-human life)
