The NG only has a useful endurance of around 6 hours.
The ETOPS sector of 99% of flights is usually short.
There is no need for more redundancy.
Running the APU during the ETOPS sector is enough.
Same reason it only has 2 IRSs.
In fact my operator requires me to turn the APU off exiting the ETOPS sector to save fuel.
