Why no 3-wheel bandsaws?

A simple question: why aren't bandsaws more commonly made with three
wheels instead of two? Sure, I've seen custom jobs made that way, and
the fact that 2 is more simple than 3 is obvious, but the tradeoff for
cutoff and height capacity seems worth it, but I don't know of any
popular manufacturers making them.
There must be a good reason...anyone know?

They usually have smaller wheels and therefore are prone to metal fatigue
and the blades break more often.
