It didn't happen because like everything else that the peanut gallery deems "obvious" the actual pros and cons of implementing it didn't pencil out until recently.
This was tried in the 1950s and 1960s. IDK why it didn't make the cut then. Probably cumulative weight of tanks. It takes A LOT of air to run an engine.
