  Because it’s seen as pure overhead, so is expected to take perhaps a few minutes for a large change (that’s my experience at least). The fact that it isn’t is of course not lost on anyone - but everyone accepts the status quo as preferable. That is: people don’t want to spend a lot of time doing code review because they don’t like it. So they rather spend time working on a worse code base.
