Probably because a RAID 0/1 controller costs $500.
Linux will do software RAID 0, 1 and 5. The CPU overhead for RAID 0 or 1 is minimal. The parity calculations for RAID 5 may consume significant CPU resources though. But for a lighly loaded home server with modern CPU, who cares about CPU utilization?
