There are many reasons. One is that the fundamentals of classical music-- the notation, the instruments, the techniques-- have not changed substantially for hundreds of years. Compare the evolution of the keyboard from 1700-present to the evolution of computers during the same timeframe.
Another is that while programming is an activity, it is not a performance. Musical training is designed to impart specific technical skills for use in performance of music. Programming is more akin to composition.
