Because you won't need them.

Tablespaces have a limited number of use cases:
- Distribute I/O across several devices (you can do the same
  on a lower level using striping).
- Put some tables or indexes faster and some on slower storage.
- Provide a size limit for a table or a database.
- Have your temporary files on a different file system.

In a virtualized environment, you never want tablespaces.
