Game came out a year ago so NRS already made their money from MKX. They're not gonna squeeze many more dollars out of it by being all like "Hey ignore that shiny Street Fighter 5 over there, MKX has non-garbage netcode now!"
I mean they definitely benefit simply from having a better online experience for the game, but it's more about testing out a new kind of netcode for future titles because they probably recognize rollback is the future. Hard for me to believe that they'd dedicate dev time to something like rollback, which only a minority of players actually give a shit about, purely to steal shine from a game that came out a year after theirs.

They're still trying to make money. This is why the netcode update is coming with Kombat Pack 2/Mortal Kombat XL
They were doing their own beta tests, with rollback netcode? It screams "me too" after seeing SF5
