Covered a hundred times before!

Cos it's a newly designed wing that doesn't require them, ie it's efficient without them.

Presumably you've been looking at a 744 or MD-11, well they're just new variations of an old design, therefore bung a winglet on either end to make something more efficient than it used to be.

If you want a technical answer, do a search.....
