A.T. Robertson pp.174-715 states "Absence of attraction [is]
Normal". We don't need to explain why a relative pronoun isn't
assimilated to the case of the antecedent or vise versa. ATR again
"... the case ... of the relative ... follow[s] the same law as other
noun and pronouns ... assimilation of case is not a necessity."
According to ATR, we are not under any obligation to explain why
assimilation doesn't happen.
