Why do Ubisoft Connect and GOG.com versions of the original Rainbow Six (1998) not include the expansion Eagle Watch?

Most probably licensing issues. That, or Ubisoft never bothered to sort their old franchises out because they lack interest and are too busy releasing DLC, which is more profitable to them.

 

It's a pity, but they aren't interested in preserving old games like we do. It's a matter of business for them.

Forgot to add: if you want to play the expansion, you can download RS Black Ops 2.0:

This is not the only example I can think of. On GoG, Ghost Recon doesn't include the 2 expansions (Desert Siege and Island Thunder), yet somehow Steam has them (if you buy them). ARMA Cold War Crisis (formerly Operation Flashpoint) doesn't have the Red Hammer campaign, and so on.
