I see one big reason.
Microsoft does not allow the products to be distributed that way.
That is one reason it is not widely done.

authorized educational distributors, even in USA such as
www.oetc.org. License prices are _very_ low (ex. $40 for XP Pro Upgrade,
$40 for Office 2003), CDs are burned and labeled by the distributor and
media costs $15 per CD. I see no reason why a legitimate educational
distributor wouldn't be able to offer downloadable install media to cut
costs to themselves and qualified customers.

Just because it hasn't been widely done before doesn't make it illicit.
