Probably because it's not as economical given the attendance for the Women's world cup was about 26,000/game, compared to when it was in the US and they averaged 68,000/game. Also FIFA has stated that sooner or later mens World Cup games will be played on turf at some point and my understanding is part of the reasoning of playing on turf was a test run before allowing it for the men's game.
