Because they give no provable benefit and they are a pain in the neck!
There is only a benefit when just a few vehicles have them, then they
stick out. But once EVERY vehicle has them you are back to where you
started, except everyone has headaches from the glare.
When I am driving and I am blinded by a vehicle behind me with DRL's on,
I have to hit the dim lever on my rearview mirror, thus reducing my
vision for ALL vehicles behind me.
