It might be a rights issue. Not sure if PBS owns the rights, the Fred Rogers Company, or someone else. A lot of it doesn't seem available at all. I came across a near complete archive from a twitch stream though if you're interested: https://archive.org/details/@ipoy143

Yeah, I've run across that (it's surprising how much stuff you can get from archive.org). Unfortunately, I don't currently have enough disk space for it!

It can't only be a rights issue though, because, again, PBS restricts access to the back catalog of literally everything regardless of who owns it.

It wouldn’t be uncommon for the rights to be divided up and sold per season given the context of children’s content. They are a nonprofit.
