I think some are going to put the information in an issue of the magazine. But they also have to hope the customers read that information. (Not everyone reads the editorial, for example. And because issues are sent to the customers' Kindles without a notification, people often forget that they have a new issue to read.)
Also, they would have to get that information from Amazon. Even if Amazon is willing to release that information, there will probably be an extra step where they ask customers if they agree to release that information to the magazine publisher. (Much like the way they ask customers if they are willing to share their information with a third-party vendor after certain purchases.) Also, there are probably issues involving proprietary business information (names, addresses, payment info) and the privacy of the customer.
It's a lot like buying magazine subscriptions through a third-party vendor such as Magazines.com. You might have to deal with the vendor rather than with the magazine.
