It's not easy to build guns over 500fps. Even putting aside the legal concerns in certain countries, a lot of companies don't want to get into annoyance of making something that might break itself after a few shots.

For 007, it's probably beyond their resources and manpower. For WGC... HK is full of people who do upgrade work. WGC doesn't need to get into that to make money. Also, 500fps+ is over their 2J limit.

Almost forgot, a "500fps spring" is something of a misnomer. A spring that produces 500fps in one gun will not produce 500fps in a smaller gun. For example, if someone in HK wanted to do ~450fps in a M4, he'd need to get a "500fps spring".
