Well Blizzard attempts to make lore explanations sometimes. The vulture was removed supposedly because it was unreliable maintenance wise according to the mechanic on the Hyperion.

The Dark Archon however I'm not sure how it would be explained away. Supposedly Dark Archon's are a last resort thing and are looked down upon because dark templars are individualistic and have to merge. Not only that, but the ability to mind control others is probably something looked down on but I only remember Zearatul having a problem with the later.

The thing is the lore for Colossus was they were terrible weapons of war made only for killing. The reaver while also devastating had a non combat purpose (can't remember atm) so the Colossus were sealed away only brought back out now out of desperation.
