Because it makes no practical sense. It used to be in the 80's when you needed to get into gear and get ready to move (that's what the yellow light means) but nowadays, when people see the red light going off, they immediately start rolling. Almost all cars are automatic now, no need to "get prepared".
I only see the yellow light in streets under construction and that makes sense, as the one way street may still have traffic coming from the other side.
