Their audience isn't interested because most of them have any idea how often their representatives are absent or miss a vote. And legislators don't want them to know. The only time it ever seems to come up is when a Senator is running for President and their opponent wants to make an issue of it. I suspect a lot more people would take notice if the information was regularly presented to them.
