Some (like Spielberg) don't do them (and good luck getting Spielberg to do something he doesn't want to do). Others charge a fee--one that could make a difference between profit or loss on some films. Same for actors. Moreover, while some are quite informative and/or entertaining, many are boring. It's nice when they're there but I'm not sure they would be as good if they became compulsory. Commentary is an unrealistic expectation as a “standard” extra.
