Cause satellites can be insured and rebuilt if the launch fails, and launch escape systems add more complexity and cost to an operation (both the rocket and satellite).
People on the other hand, while they can be insured, it's the rebuilding part that we aren't so great at - hence launch escape systems for people, not satellites.

Not just that, the satellites have to be built to withstand the additional g forces of an abort. This means more weight and complexity.

Hey I’m a satellite launch insurance agent, I was wondering if your policy was up to date?

I've been trying to reach you about your rockets extended warranty.

A 2 second Google search says your wrong. Launch insurance is out there. If companies choose to not purchase it, well that's on them.
