Probably because, as a friend of mine found out when she dripped hers, 
Titanium in that particular alloy is more brittle than aluminum.

IMHO I think Panasonic had the best idea and used shock gels with a 
heavy magnesium frame.  But then I also want a fully waterproof laptop 
that is made of stainless steel too. ;-)
