    Real answer? Because every little change to an airliner has to be approved by a lengthy and expensive process, and every tiny bit of weight they can avoid adding saves them money. American Airlines saved $40,000 a year by removing one olive from every first class salad, they’re not about to add weight back on for an extraneous little feature of dubious actual value.
