For the most part, no one cares to do so is why.

Hell, 99% of all computers are still running on non-checksummed filesystems, if not 99.99%.

For the most part, only a tiny minority of people are even aware of bit rot, let alone have anything they simultaneously care enough about to protect against, and have enough ownership of it to attempt to try.
