Sure they did. They made service pack one. After that they came out with Windows 8. What's the next version of the operating system comes out Microsoft really doesn't give a shit about the old one. They put their big effort into making the move to the new version.
As it should be. It's not a new product, it's just the update to the old one.

Still, they built the mechanism/ability of including updates in the install media. It would take all of 1 engineer all of 1 hour to compile an updated ISO and stick it online.
Over the course of 10 years it probably would have reduced the load on their update servers by a fantastical amount.

Would it? Does MS publish a Win 7 ISO for the public? I don't recall ever seeing one.

Not officially I guess. MS never published links or publicized the info themselves but for a long time it was possible to download ISOs for many products including Win 7 from Digital River as long as you knew the direct link location. There were a few websites that maintained extensive lists.
I think this is not so much the case these days.
