Cause when you have quarter million dollars of GPU on each machine, it is dumb to worry about few thousand for the controlling hardware. Too risky to use something new.
Another problem is that all the hardware, drivers, and experience for GPU are on PC. It would take a lot of work to get running on ARM since would be starting from scratch. Then more work to get it stable. All to save a little on processor.
