Because apart from super fans of the specific teams, no one wanted to see 3 Mercedes filling the podium during their dominant years and no one wants to see 3 Red Bulls filling the podium now.
Heck, the teams don't even want a new unproven competitor diluting their monopoly, so they are never going to want to let the already dominant force of the moment fill the podium race after race.
The weird and wonderful 3rd entries in the 70s and 80s are anomalies that were fine at the time but are certainly not needed any more.
F1 could use the sprint races to give young drivers a go and make them separate from the main championship, but that is perhaps a different idea for a different thread. .
