thats a good point, they don't. i believe its a question of cost, but i've pm'd Jrod to see if he can tell me why.
a lightened and knife edged crank isn't a bad thing, unless it was done incorrectly, which this wasn't. you're freeing up horsepower by reducing the weight of the crank, meaning it takes less effort to spin it. much in the same way a lighter wheel works.

here is what AMS had to say via PM...
typically you want to knife edge to help reduce drag and have better top end power. On a 2.3 your are limited by rpm to begin with so knife edging a crank might give you a little more throttle response but the cost doesn't seem to be worth the gain.
On a 2.0 high revving engine it wouldn't be a bad idea.
