Probably because it takes more components, period.  You have to admit, an AC
excited tesla coil is a pretty simple device from a components standpoint:
transformer, gap, cap, two windings and you are done.

A DC coil (and there are many out there) requires a more sophisticated gap
(you can't rely on the AC zero crossing for positive quench) and, even more
of a pain, a high power DC power supply, which is no easy matter to deal
with, if for no other reason than it will have significant stored energy.
