Because they would be unused at most places making it generally unnecessary to invest in them?

That's a choice we made, to build things far apart and connect them with roads rather than building walkable / bikable cities.

And its your own fault, you built it like that. In the 1930s/40s/50s you had many many cities european style with stuff in walking distance. Americans HAVING to need to rely on cars is entirely artificialy made.
