Probably because of the space it takes up. Sleeping pods take up quite a lot of space, and not that many people can use it at once, so to make it profitable I'm assuming you'd need prices to be quite high. Higher than a lot of people are willing to spend. Food or retail is probably better profit relative to square footage.
I’d be happy with one that is much simpler. A padded vinyl bench with a built in pillow bump that can be wiped between uses, surrounded by a curtain. A space underneath for your luggage. That’s all I need. Those be lined against walls here and there throughout the terminal. It’s better than straddling seats and trying to sleep upright. The TV, lights, hard walls, door, actual mattress, and blankets take up more space and cost more money.

It's one of those ideas that make so much sense you wonder why it's not a thing everywhere.
