Why not a coffee bag? Or a tea press?
EDIT: I stand corrected— they do exist!! Thanks for all the answers!

Coffee goes stale a lot faster than tea. So while freshly ground coffee would have no real problems being steeped in a bag it’s a really bad idea to package and ship preground coffee in a bunch of tiny little baggies. You would have to seal each bag in something airtight individually. Which is going to be more expensive than just buying a can of it, and lower quality than a bag of fresh beans. Without all of the convenience (real or perceived) of something like a kurig.
As for why tea is steeped in bags other than some other method? Well, you totally can use other methods and lots of people do. Tea bags are just super easy.
