It's not that we affirmatively *want* to, it's just that despite the
advances in computing technology over, say, the last 30 years, the
preponderance of thinking in most departments in most schools relies on a
paradigm of teaching and learning from an earlier era. This will have to
change, but I suspect the change will take its sweet time.
