With many aircraft flying around at ....380,390,400,410 the next naturally separated level is 430 then 450. The opportunity to use 420 and 440 just doesn't arise very often. Doesn't mean they can't be.
Just like pre RVSM, 300 was a legit level but almost never used as it would block the normal hemispherical levels at 290 and 310.
