Three reasons:
1. The front pivot doesn't break easily, or unwarranted. It takes a big hit to break one.
2. It would be a VERY expensive part to make, from a huge piece of aluminum and a ton of machining time.
3. With an aluminum pivot, the arms, pin strap and pivot are all stronger, some might start to break chassis... which is an entirely different story... one nobody wants to tell...lol
