Because they simply are NOT recognized as a way to evaluate individual talent. Comparables in arb come soley from similar aged guys with similar offensive and defensive stats and similar contracts. Most "analytical" stats are not transferable/comparable to others across the league but moreso vs those who they played with.
Its just how i understand it to happen, and thats from guys who would know.....unless it has changed since last year but i highly doubt that is the case....and im sure we would have heard of such from one of the pinheads on radio/tv who live and die by such stuff.
