That is because it is not actively encouraged.

The only thing I care about is that people do not incorrectly use
Reviewed/Acked-by when reviewers did not say "this version looks
good"; that would mislead the maintainer to think "ah, if that
reviewer said this is good, whose judgment I can trust, then I do
not have to read it carefully myself."
