Possibly because your homepage does not drive a third of Internet traffic, both from within the ISPs network and from without.
The Internet is a collection of public and private networks. When it costs more to upgrade the linkages between your network and everyone else's than to host a server inside it, that is when the ISP should pay to support a local resource.
You're comparing apples and oranges, really. If your website ever reaches the point where traffic starts to saturate an ISP's connections, I'm sure they would be willing to discuss a local CDN resource with you, too. Whether they offer to pay for that or charge you for it depends largely upon how stupid and/or greedy their management is.
