I asked a very similar question, regarding Unobtainable Items in general, to Delany when we interviewed him. You can see his answer here:

Sometimes, it is a long-term plan of the developers to introduce items they want to use later to expand a story. Other times, circumstances might have changed that made it necessary to alter a previous plan and “ready-to-use” items are a remnant of that. In few cases it also may be a simple mistake.

Delany Interviewed by the English TibiaWiki

At the time, I had items such as the Guidebook in my mind which probably fall on the last case ("a simple mistake") Delany mentioned. Regarding the Blue Sphere, I believe the devs changed their plans for this item which caused it be unobtainable.

Concerning how and when the sphere became obtainable, I remember it very well. While reevaluating with the fansite admins the list of contest prizes, I suggested adding the sphere to the list. It seems the content team liked my proposal since fansites were able to award the blue sphere since January 2020.
