Because all such engines are horribly inefficient.

You're comparing hydrogen to gasoline. That's great if you can get to 30% efficiency from 20% or something, but I'm comparing hydrogen to fuel cells or batteries, where it's more like 60%+.

Maybe, but I doubt it will be to burn in most cars.

If we figure out fusion and efficiencies become largely irrelevant maybe.
