Same reason the Model X has stupid gull wing doors. They were designed in California by people that don't see snow.

Attached air flow does nothing at 15 - 20 mph when snow is coming down and it certainly doesn't clear off fine red dust from the lava rock used on our roads instead of salt.

I took the rear wiper off my 2005 Prius when I lived in Alabama. It stayed off for the first summer and then went back on for winter.
