I guess for the same reason no one else thinks about them either. Capitalism in general seems to reward companies and individuals for being remarkably short sighted when it comes to the long term effects of their actions, and just about everyone operates under the assumption "well, it's going great now, who cares what the consequences are in future?" But hey, I guess you could say that's humanity's flaw in general. If all our current social and environmental issues are taken into account, it's pretty clear that most people don't think about the consequences of their actions beyond the next week or so.
