Because I don't want a beep every 20 seconds. It's annoying. Same with the constant beep if I drive my car 50ft down the driveway without a seatbelt.

Nobody in the US is speeding on accident nobody wants alerts. The only thing this would be useful for is driving through long speed traps with average speed which didn't exist here.

It only exists to annoy the driver. And if it were a useful feature, not a nagging device you would be allowed to turn it off. Nanny state.
