Neither should they.  For many (most?) simulation tasks there are
higher level languages or frameworks that are much more effective than
programming languages, such as, Ada, C, C++ or FORTRAN.

Note that I have a vested interest in this particular issue; I work
for a company that makes one of these simulation environments for
modelling of dynamical systems.
