Because WebRTC is not finalized and I think Microsoft has taken an approach of not implementing the experimental features.
You can get the prototype WebRTCn as a plugin for IE through Microsoft's Interoperability Bridge here: http://html5labs.interoperabilitybridges.com/prototypes/cu-r...
A lot of browsers certainly chrome implement experimental features with vendor prefixes just to get high up in html5 tables such as those.

Microsoft absolutely does implement experimental features and use vendor prefixes when it suits them. See, for example, CSS Grid Layout: http://caniuse.com/#search=CSS%20Grid%20Layout

Implementing experimental layout techniques is less risky than implementing a two way communication protocol.

Microsoft proposed a competitor to WebRTC called CU-RTC-Web which honestly has some nice things going for it when compared with WebRTC.
No mandatory codec (VP8) No SDP
We'll see where this all goes.

Maybe they'll push WebRTC in IE12 (not guaranteed), but then it will be some key encryption standard that everyone else has decided on and they're supporting, but IE12 will be lacking. They need to keep IE more up to date with the implementation of the standards.
This seems to show the same thing (not a perfect test, but gives a rough idea about how far behind the IE team is in supporting new HTML5 standards):
