Because of many reasons.

A) There's no space for it where the pump is, the "shield" would have to cover a much larger part of the motor, be resistant to high-heat, and be very well engineered.
B) It likely won't do much, even assuming someone takes the time to make it.
C) Since the chirping is not really an issue, spending time and money fixing something that isn't broken seems a little silly.

why do we want to hear these chirps?
Why do they bother you? They don't hurt anything and are only audible/present at idle.
