Same reason you don't see fleets of Gateway dunkirks flying around Bretonia. We weren't meant to have them, and we were fortunate enough that no dev just handed them to us and said "here, it makes total sense for you to have these."
so nothing to do with a corvo then. the zoners' militaristic tendencies are a recentthing, and to do the players, not the ships. im not interested in whether or not zoners keep their caps, i think that as soon as you let the camels nose into the tent, the rest will follow. should the devs retconn one faction without a tremor of disapprobation from the community, it will be seen as a valid shortcut to enforce behaviour. kinda like opening eggs with triphammers. you can be a fanboy all you like cos gateway can't have caps, but just wait until gateway lose their 5kers, cos 'realism, bretonia is in a prolonged war and can't afford to build them, so you all have clydesdales and percherons.'
