Taking your question at face value (why don't they?): Because right now, so far as I can tell, Google is so far ahead that there would be little interest in the contest.
Perhaps Facebook will start to catch up, or Microsoft will suddenly appear with something startling, but for the moment the only real competition for AlphaGo comes from top human players. (Perhaps not even them? I don't think anyone really knows.)
