Because compressors are large, heavy, and not exactly pocket sized.
Only extreme setups use compressors and deal with the challenges they bring...

With the use of R410a, a compressor can be made much smaller physically for the same capacity. (There was a compressor the size of a soda can intended for computer cooling. It used R404a.)
And when you make a compressor that small, it's not very heavy.
I still wonder why compressors for CPU cooling are only found in high end homemade PCs and Britney workstations... (Of course, in the case of a Britney workstation, good luck trying to pull down to -35C using Peltiers, not to mention having to maintain that temperature at up to 200w of heat load per CPU...)
