Mostly because FIRST does not sell them.

The sensor boards are only available in the Kit of Parts. The supplier does not sell them either. If yours is missing or broken, the three options are:
  1. obtain a replacement from another team that isn't using theirs
  2. use a different sensor that is commercially available
  3. design the robot controls not to need that particular sensor
