How come they don't do these for other writings, e.g. Shakespeare, poetry collections.

Do you seriously think they'd only have 1 Shakespeare and, if they did, it would be The Merchant of Venice? As for pocket sized, here's their edition of The Master and Margarita.

I have this in leather and it wouldn't fit a pocket, also the font is a point 6, you need a magnifier to read it comfortably.

They do; I've seen books of common prayer that are roughly that size (along with Psalters, other prayerbooks, etc). Discounting religious works, I've seen small collections of poetry, and some paperback books are roughly the size of pocket Bibles

I think there's an untapped market in truly pocket-sized books, for no other reason than they're somewhat cute and they're perfect as an accessorized intellectual statement. Research them to fit most trouser pockets and front pockets of purses, and put the title at the very top of the front cover, so you can still see what it is when it barely peeks through. Make them in attractive colors that one can mix and match.
I would make them even gayer and make a partnership with Discord so that if you get the book you get a special banner for it on your profile.
