Probably cost - but I know many who hire professional editors or barter with them for another professional service, which works well too.
I'm more surprised by the number of well-established traditionally published series that are filled with mistakes - maybe it's due to the rush to get out the next title.
As a reader, I don't mind a few mistakes if the story is good - as a writer, I'm more of a perfectionist.
