Because nobody is working on it currently (I mean sparse/narrow clone. There are alternatives, you can search the archive). I had a WIP some time ago but there are still problems to be resolved before moving it forward. But I'm currently busy with pathspec work. Even if I have time for it, such a big feature may get months to be accepted. Anybody is welcome to give it a try though.
