Because it's not worth the time and effort.

Even if you succeed, you're likely to spend your time killing indy commanders.

And you have to keep moving, or they'll patrol with a force designed to kill you. Since they know where you are and how
you're geared & scripted.

When you could be raiding, taking provinces and sneaking away before you can be attacked.

Not that assassination doesn't have niche uses. Multiple assassins on an unprepared target can be effective. Assassins can kill commanders in an attacking army to split it. But not as a main use for 400gp cap-only mages.
