Probably because the cost of the chargers will be really, really high and only two cars supports them so far.Also, while it's technically impressive what BYD have done, the real world need for MCS is somewhat limited.
Personally we drive around 50000 km every year in our Kona 64kWh model, and it has a maximum charging speed on a good day of 77 kW, in winter around 55 kW.
However, given that it charges every night on a 11 kW home charger, it hardly ever sees a fast charger - perhaps 10 times a year, unless our summer holiday is a 3000 km roadtrim through Germany and their neighbouring countries.
Still, even then we tend to find slow destination chargers and charge through the night.
