There are few airports in the US that have one ILS for two runways, you come down the ILS to a certain DME and Alt and turn towards the non ils run way. I could never find out exactly why , there are a lot of theories .
Cost of the ground equipment or physical constraints around the runway which prevent installation or mean that it can't meet the specs for an instrument strip??

Maybe just not worth it on the CBA.
