I would think it's just not practical - a bigger disk is going to be in the crap, getting hit by rocks, pabbles, grass, ice, and other stuff, and you really want to keep the disks as dry and clean as you can whilst off road. The more holes in the disk the worse it performs in the mud & wet as you get alot of crap being taken into the caliper, in some case's it improves brake performance by using solid disks.
Also, the grip off road isn't anything like the tarmac, so I couldn't really see the point in more stopping power - you'll just slide along!!
Maybe that's why?
That said, it would look monsterous on a road going R......
