Isn't it simply because there are better ways to do it, than to
use an external shunt ?
Flux Gate current sensors regularly have <1PPM linearity without even
breaking the circuit to be measured, and their offset due to
earths magnetic field is trivially cancelled by zeroing.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
