Because they're intended for data storage, not everyday use. (We have a large array of 2TB 5400RPM drives at work, which is our Tier-2 storage device. The faster drives are in the Tier-1 storage device.)

In home terms - copying a file from a 5400 RPM drive to a memory dongle plugged into a USB-1 port is about as fast as copying a file from a 5400 RPM drive to a memory dongle plugged into a USB-2 port. I've done the experiment.

You want something faster for you primary drive.
