The first paragraph makes it clear the reason…

The Sinaloa cartel, the leading exporter of fentanyl to the U.S., is prohibiting the production and trafficking of the illegal opioid in its territory after coming under increasing pressure from U.S. law enforcement, cartel members say.

And further down, the real reason: they want neighboring cartels to pick up the slack of fent manufacturing so the DEA will eliminate their rivals for them

It doesn’t make money to produce a product that kills your customer base quickly. Killing them slowly is what the cigarette industry does. Get the customer to purchase over and over again.
