There were no day tickets for sale at the OHM2013 and SHA2017 ticket shops, for the same reasons there are no day tickets for MCH2022. I think that perhaps you got access to SHA via the "guest list", which granted a few dozen special guests free access for one day. The last time there were less-than-full tickets that you could buy was at HAR2009, which had a "weekend ticket". (Personally I didn't like the effect caused by that.) I'm not sure if WTH2005 and earlier events had day tickets, but to be honest, I don't think so.

Day tickets are complicated in terms of capacity and financial planning (you need enough toilets etc for the peak attendance, which means many remain unused for the rest of the time), and have a social impact because people who only visit for a day are much less likely to "waste" the little time they have on a volunteer shift. Also, the experience for visitors is much different if they visit only a single day.

There are of course pros and cons, but as far as I know, the cons of selling day tickets outweighed the pros, and that's why there are none.
