Just because the game where mechanum makes sense hasn't happened yet doesn't mean there will never be one. It's a simple design trade that you can do when determining your team's strategy. Just because you can make something does't mean you should if you look at the big picture.

I didn't mean to imply "never will there be one" or "mecanum is always bad". I just think when teams make such a decision, they should ask themselves why this year will be different than previous years.
