They may have made that determination before the DNA evidence came out. I can understand the AKC waiting until the MARS test has become more accurate before using it in their determinations of breed purity, but analysis of individual genes is much more precise. People interested in the purity of the Yorkshire Terrier breed (and who have clout) might want to bring these more recent findings before the AKC to see if they will change their mind. As more and more of these kinds of studies are done, it will be harder for them to ignore.
