They could!

Capitalism. “Free” washes would increase rent. And benefit high-volume washers! Might increase lines though (wash more often with no skin in the game), pull back people who may be using laundromats as an alternative. Detrimental to low-volume washing households.

Mostly I’d say it’s an optics thing. Cost per year to exist wouldn’t change much, but clearly public opinion could.
