if i were to guess it would be the rebuilder wen the quick and dirty way and simply rebuilt this non abs caliper to function on an abs car knowing that only two of the pistons on each caliper would function. the way to verify this theory is to drive the car using the softest brake pads i can find and watch of radically uneven pad wear over a period of many months of hard brake usage.

imo the cost to internally connect all the passageways into one bleeder would exceed the profit on the sold caliper.

OR remove a piston on the blocked off line circuit and see if fluid drips out or can be forced through from the working line.

if it is blocked off and no fluid comes through is that in fact a case of fraud on the part of the rebuilder? minor though it may be
