Because languages don't become big things. Good solutions to 
particular problems  become big things, but D is a very good 
language and nothing more. So if that is your criteria for 
choosing a language, you might want to use something else.

D will go the route of continual improvement and increased 
adoption. As more and more people use it for small projects, the 
ecosystem will improve, and it will begin to be adopted for 
bigger projects.
