Why aren’t pianos frequently used in orchestras?

I have heard that historically composers didn’t frequently include it but, musically and sound wise, is it less suitable or just not needed?

Orchestra musician here – they ARE frequently used. Some orchestras even have a permanent position for a pianist. Mine doesn’t, but most of our concerts include piano in at least one work.
