"Why is congestion pricing never brought up in any of these conversations about traffic?"

Because it would be incredibly regressive. The people who can least afford the fee are those that are not at all in the position to change their driving time habits.

I agree that a congestion tax on its own would be regressive. It's essential that subsidized, high-capacity bus lines replace most of the cars.

This situation would result in a far superior outcome for currently poor people, even if it still has some inequality.

Who care if a few taxes are regressive. The sum of all taxes is more important than each individual one.
