This is a user to user only forum, NOT Apple Support. As users, we cannot speak to "why" questions. If I were to guess, I'd imagine, very very very few people actually need a cable capable of transferring data at the maximum rate, and the cable supplied will support what most users may need. If one really has a need for a data transfer cable capable of data rates that high, they can certainly buy one. But again, that's just my guess.
