They've probably forgotten how to cry 'human' loud enough, or maybe
they'd've stayed rogue:

Do elephants call 'human!'? Low rumble alarm call in response to the
sound of human voices

Summary:
African elephants make a specific alarm call in response to the
danger of humans, according to a new study of wild elephants in
Kenya. Researchers carried out a series of audio experiments in which
recordings of the voices of the Samburu, a local tribe from North
Kenya, were played to resting elephants. The elephants quickly
reacted, becoming more vigilant and running away from the sound
whilst emitting a distinctive low rumble.
