The main reason is that the way Diesel and Gasoline engines works is complete different, the gasoline needs a spark to explode and generate movement. The diesel explodes with pressure, the pressure of the fuel on the cylinder is what makes the explosion, so in a diesel engine you don't need an electric system to generate a spark.
The compression in a diesel engine is a lot higher that a gasoline engine.
All diesel engines have diesel injectors, gasoline engine works with injectors and carburators.
