Possibly because of the obvious problems in the case of pilot incapacitation if the dead bolt is on. Using it in a security situation is an airline specific SOP, and pretty pointless. You can always use the deny function on the door control to stop anyone gaining access by the electronic lock. And before the subject comes up this is all in the public domain so no help to potential hijackers.
