Because:
1) They don't need their clutches to last for any more than the length of the race.
2) They don't have to pay for their worn clutch baskets, or fit them themselves, or pay for the labour to do it
3) They don't have to buy their own clutch packs, or fit them etc...
4) They don't have to strike a compromise between road and track.
5) Even if they are privateers they still have enough money or sponsorship to be racing a Ducati, so longevity is not number one on their list
Anyway, without racers using something different people who want their bike to be fitted solely with wannabee racer bling would have nothing to aspire to
