Seems like it was essentially a cash grab to help fund CK2 as well as test some new concepts that they eventually implemented. 
Sad to see. Hope I'm wrong however and they do put out an expansion.

The reason Sengoku doesn't get much expanding is that it was commercially unsuccessful
Honestly, I have given up hope to ever see an update for this one... luckily, it is a stable and more or less bug-less game
I agree with Nyrael. If Paradox thought it would be profitable to make an expansion, they would do so. Business is business.
Perhaps the Sengoku period is too much of a niche market for strategy games (itself a fairly small niche market)? Koei has basically given up on publishing Nobunaga's Ambition in English (where I originally cut my strategy gaming teeth in the 1980s), and the fact that Creative Assembly had some success with Total War: Shogun 2 can at least be partly explained by the fact that they only publish a new Total War game every couple years -- their fans will tend to buy the latest iteration regardless of the geographic and historical setting. (Although, I do recall a number of people mentioning on forums that they'd pass on Shogun 2 due to the lack of variety in units and the "boring" setting, opting instead to wait for the next offering.)
It is a shame, though. At least for those of us that enjoy the period and setting.
