Because the rules ban carbon... It might seem archaic in today's world but truly international one-design classes are not quick to change due to the consensus needed between national member associations. This is worsened by the perception in some parts of the world that carbon is still super expensive, when I don't think that's necessarily true any more - certainly for things such as kite poles, booms and tillers / extensions.
