That's because they serve little purpose and the tools are waaaay too hard to use. Someone (Matt Blaze?) once commented that if the NSA/FBI had done nothing at the start of the crypto wars, AT&T would have sold a few hundred TSD3600s and most of them would have sat on shelves gathering dust. So in a sense both sides won, we got to deploy strong crypto everywhere and the MIBs get to reap the benefits of almost no-one using crypto for their comms (voice, email, etc).
