Because these are not passenger ferries.
Shipping a single used vehicle, nevermind a motorcycle (which not every dockworker could drive, and consider the liability if it's dropped!), is a very uncommon use case that disturbs what is otherwise a very standardized conveyor-belt operation for the shipping company. They don't like dealing with non-professionals, they don't like dealing with individual shipments (as opposed to a large block of cargo capacity), so they're not going to solicit that business, especially at a time when shipping capacity is in short supply to begin with.
Retail customers are pretty much the last thing they care about, so whenever you need to make a retail one-time shipment on a cargo vessel, YOU need to convince THEM. The best way to do this is via a freight agent that they already know and trust.
