Manufacturers want to get maximum fuel efficiency, as another mentioned. Even if they do fit all seasons, the problem is that people run them much longer than they should. This is worse with higher efficiency EV tires which wear out faster... especially given the higher torque of electric engines, people accelerate too quickly.

A full set of tires can easily cost $1k, and we're in a country where most people barely have $500 saved at any moment.
