That's not altogether true. Kittle's edition is essentially the same Hebrew text behind the KJV but contains his critical textual apparatus (notes).

Because it's Old Testament is a critical text - so you have the same problem just in the Hebrew.

The Reformed orthodox worked extensively in defending the Hebrew. So, the NKJV comes forth to provide an alternative modern translation of the Received Text to settle the dispute and then does a textual switcharoo in the Old Testament to Kittle's critical text.
