There are far fewer variants between Hebrew mss than Greek. The Masoretes, et al, were much more careful with copying than the many who copied the Greek mss.

That's why the Hebrew texts are generally Diplomatic Editions as opposed to Eclectic Editions as we find in the NT texts.
And it doesn't really speak to the fact that the NASB and ESV do use different underlying texts for both the OT and NT.
If the NASB doesn't plan to have a revision after the next generation of texts it may go by the way-side.
