Probably because they don't present much "bang for the buck"? For a week's worth of coffee a drop-in filter in the stock air intake gives you the same or very similar amount of performance gains as a replacement CAI.

The stock system is also a "real" cold air intake because the snorkel reaches into the bumper, and the Perrin CAI filter location is in the same location.
