Because they are designed to meet the needs of typical users, not (ahem) hoarders like me and other folks around here who've been gathering ebooks since the PDA era.
A typical heavy reader (already atypical) might acquire a hundred or two hundred ebooks a year and would take ten years to fill up a 2-4GB ereader. The issue isn't so much the cost of the SD card slot or the bigger flash chip as the fact that 95-99% of buyers (especially of Kindle buyers) would receive no benefit from the feature.
Face it, when it comes to ebooks, we're one-percenters.
