Why do streets not get a coat of sealant like parking lots do?

Why do I see entire parking lots get a coat of sealant, but never really see streets or highways get a large coat of sealant?

Municipalities with smaller budgets do give some of their older asphalt road a slurry seal to make them last longer. The tar is for larger cracks. Anyway to keep the water from getting into or under the road surface in the winter months saves money in the long run.
