There are bike cars in the commuter rail fleet, they're just not used very frequently.

My experience - not during peak commuting hours. Which is most likely the time OP wants to commute.

I've seen them on the NBPT/Rockport line at rush hour times, but it's true that they aren't used often.

Why aren’t they used?

The bike cars take out about 1/3 of the seats on the train car. And technically the policy is no bikes on rush hour trains. I see one periodically on the Fitchburg line, but it's a terrible car and the seats are uncomfortable and cramped.
