At a guess, I'd say that most satellites have different requirements due to the way their weight is distributed and where the inertial stabilization is done.
As far as I understand it, Satellite design is all about cramming the most amount of features in as small and light a package as possible. That would mean a lot of tight coupling and a hard time standardizing anything across different types of satellites.
