Some educated guesses:

1. We don't have "ribosomes at scale"

2. We don't have a way to separate the ribosome product from the factory

3. Keeping the product stable is hard

Another interesting reason is that if you do it the mRNA way, you will continue to internally produce those spike proteins to train your immune system for a week or two
