The main reason for not installing fuses in the hydraulics systems of some aircraft is the reliance on the safety hazards analysis. This analysis considers the loss of a single system and depends on system design and redundancy to keep the other systems from going tits-up. This analysis does not consider an external force causing the loss of all systems at the same time.
