Because they didn't think of it.

BK, at least, despite having tons of features, seems rather conservative
in many ways (despite Larry's blathering about being `years ahead of the
cutting edge').  Arch is rather refreshing in the way it breaks out of
the standard mold a bit.

It certainly _is_ true that users tend to recoil against changing their
ways, especially if doing so involves making tradeoffs.  But time will
tell.
