Because they didn't run the 12/16 V power?
Relatively inexpensive

Programmable thermostats need power to operate and retain memory. Depending on how many thermostat wires come from your air handker, there may be no complete power circuit to supply constant power.

There is no power to the house?

I just got a nest and was pleasantly surprised to see it powers off the low voltage ac input. Also it's the easiest thermostat of all time to install. Even runs a diagnostic to make sure each connection does what it should.
All my older ones took AAA batteries.

Some thermostats simply don't have a terminal for hardwiring power and can only be powered by batteries. Why manufacturers make them that way I'll never know.

Because cold fusion is still a couple of hundred years away.
