Price and maintenance. I asked while in France, and while you can buy them

- you need an electric plug, and builders tend to avoid putting them in the toilets or aren't asked for in the first place.

- once you have them, the water clogs the thin pipes with calcium apparently. So every one/two year we'd have to replace the tubes.

The calcium issue would mostly depend on the hardness of your water, right? So that would probably vary by region.
It is, and Japanese water is overall pretty soft so it helps in that regard.
