Because they're not very marketable.
MATLAB is not a general purpose programming language. Its use is very specific for science and computational problems. It's in the best interest of a programmer to learn general purpose programming languages so that he will be marketable to more businesses. Likewise, it's better for scientists and mathematicians to learn MATLAB/Maple/FORTRAN as that makes them more marketable for science.
