Likely, because it's only bottled in small quantities for folks willing to pay the price, it reaches the store shelf more quickly and sits there a shorter period of time.
Them crafty Uropeens will sell you milk which lasts nearly forever, and the container doesn't even glow in the dark.
For those of us reduced to skim or 1% milk, what flavor remains is so minimal that one could hardly tell when it had soured.
....And there's naught wrong with drinking sour milk. After all, we use sour cream, eat cheese, butter and any number of "soured" milk products. ^
