Hello.
IMHO this is because PulseAudio is somewhat buggy to go into polished
distributions. I hardly could use it on Arch Linux, and I am accustomed
to general Arch Linux's instability. (Arch Linux is bleeding-edge by
definition.) Distributions jumped to PulseAudio too soon. Also, the
developers of PulseAudio could split the source code into stable and
trunk branches.

Although during the last years PulseAudio is doing its job pretty well,
there are still quite some people out there thinking it is a mess. And
indeed looking at the Debian bug tracking system [1] a lot of bugs are
reported there. There are 145 reports [2] most of them concerning
upstream things. Since for a long time, Debian did not package the
latest PulseAudio version, I guess a lot of them are fixed already.
Debian’s large user base experienced a lot of these problems and
therefore disabled PulseAudio and have not tried newer versions.
