If it is a legitimate question, then there is really only one answer.

Winglets were not, and still are not, a option from boeing on this aircraft.

It's the same as asking why the 767 dosent have 4 engines? It wasn't designed to!!!

However, why are they asking the question?

Well the B757 and the B737 were never designed for winglets but still some have them, my guess would what is the performance advantages over having them? its maybe that on the B767 wing puting them on may no give a fuel burn advantage, theres also the cost element.

The -400 already has, they just happen to be horizontal. Strakes I think they are called.

Because Boeing designed the wing properly in the first place.
