That could be because:

- the use of tone burst in embedded in folk law and many people don't 
realise it is no longer needed (rig instruction booklets probably 
reinforce this); or even

- if you are driving long distances, on unfamiliar routes, stopping to 
identify the right CTCSS frequency and program it in may be too much of 
a hassle.
