Asking why is always problematic. Trying to apply modern-world reasoning just doesn't work. There are countless things that they did that don't make a lot of sense to us today. The only answer we are really ever going to have is that most Roman soldiers didn't use vambraces because they saw no need for them. If more soldiers lost their hands in battle then perhaps a vambrace might have become a priority.
