Why did the film "Yesterday" not feature any music written or sung by Ringo? - People Infront Of A Store

In the film "Yesterday", Jack Malik does a reasonable job of singing many Beatles songs, even altering his voice to match the original singer.

But surprisingly, none of the songs were written or originally sung by Ringo. His name is mentioned, but his music is completely ignored.

Is there a reason for that (e.g. he didn't give permission)?
