Reasons to not allow an uploaded brain to be conscious?

My story has brain uploading, but in practice it serves a purpose more like reincarnation, recreating the original recorded state of the scanned brain in a pre-prepared clone of the deceased. I need a reason why these people's uploaded consciousnesses wouldn't be able or be allowed to be conscious while their information is being stored on a digital medium like in most fictional accounts of brain uploading, so the dead can't be consulted or talked to until they reincarnate in a new body.

Maybe running brain simulations of multiple deceased individuals demands too much power or is an inefficient use of resources? Maybe uploaded minds pose some sort of cybersecurity risk? Are there any good reasons why they wouldn't want, wouldn't be able, or wouldn't be allowed to be conscious until reincarnating?
