I would assume it's because it's more expensive to operate and their current demand for the percentage of 738s that they operate wouldn't support a higher yield that would improve PRASM (Passenger Revenue per Available Seat Mile) on the routes operated by 738s. If they need a narowbody aircraft for a higher yield, they can use an A321 which requires more fuel and also requires an extra flight attendant.
