B777 only has reverse on the inboards, too.
Yes, I know it only has two engines - thus making the point that if you only need it on two, only fit it on two.
Protoype VC10s had four reversers - tests proved that only two were needed so that's all the production model got.
One advantage of fitting it to the inboards is that there will be smaller yawing moments in the advent of an asymmetry.
