A question for 'Messianic Jews' - why do some Jews wear the techelet while some do not?
I am quite interested in your responses, please.
Thanks!
Edit: Actually, I'm NOT Reform, but please try again.

Maybe its because some are not sure where the blue/techelet comes from.
Some say the chilizon is not the fish the blue comes from.
I find it quite odd that a shellfish/snail that is unclean can be used to dye the threads blue.
Others say that when Messiah comes the chilazon will re-appear.

That you are Reform is showing.
Tcheles/Techelet
(“Blue-Green”). A color required for threads of tzitzis by the Torah. The source of the dye was lost for thousands of years and therefore Jews wore tzitzit without techelet. However, in the 1980s, the process of dying techelet was rediscovered based on scientific research from the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, the mitzvah of techelet is slowly coming back after almost 1400 years of being lost.

Urp. I was going to answer, but then I thinks... no let them wonder.
Trying not to enable their identity theft and give Messianic Christians more information to do their evil.
