I'll take a stab at that.
(1) Because I haven't won one of the $100,000,000 + lottery jackpots, yet. That's not meant as a joke.
(2) No super rich guy has wanted to do it.
(3) Guys with the knowhow & want-to, don't have enuff money to do it.
(4) Guys with the knowhow to do it, who could borrow the money, don't figure they could make a profit on 'em, and assume they would probably LOSE lots of money, or it would at least take many years to break even.
There may be other reasons. Only thing i remember, for sure, about previous discussions of this is how many differing ideas there were about the details of such a block. Some guys kept upping the capabilities to the point where they'd have to sell for nearly the price of the current high dollar blocks.
And, I assume that makers of the current blocks would fight a cheaper block as hard as they could, so that they wouldn't lose any sales because of a cheaper block.
