Perhaps because you can't just pull a plane over on the side of the road if something goes wrong?
A lot of things on a car are held to different (lesser) standards than aircraft. For example, you don't see magnetos on a car, though you will frequently see two on an private aircraft engine so it can keep firing if the electrical system goes out.
