Because you don’t need to. I’ve lived in Vermont for 26 years and never needed studded tires. Usually I get by with all seasons. (I live near Burlington and have a very short commute) I guess if you live at the top of an icy steep hill, or commute for 2 hours a day, sure. But it’s not a requirement for safe winter driving.

If you need studded tires to drive in VT in any winter conditions then perhaps you aren’t a great driver in the winter. I think I know 1 person who uses studded snow tires and he has a 1 hour commute both ways in the summer months so winter is even longer in bad weather. Most people don’t use studded tires.
