Most people don't even associate with Romeo and Juliet. The thing is, Grinch's whole background, references, costume, and such would be too close to what was used for Seuss. As well, he's too closely associated with him. While yes, Romeo and Juliet were created by Shakespeare, they are known more on their own than they are with Shakespeare. They are incredibly recognizable on their own without tie-in to their creator, while the Grinch isn't.
