The Romans borrowed (well, maybe took) a lot of ideas from the Greeks. This was because the Greeks were very successful and their ideas and traditions appealed to the Roman people. The Romans took a lot Greek architecture because it was some of the most well engineered and sophisticated in those times. Remember, the Greeks were a lasting civilization and some argue that Rome is almost like the successors to the Greeks. All those Greek styles of architecture were tweaked Roman style to fit their own needs.

Basically, why would the Romans want to create a totally new style of architecture when the Greeks have something that is pretty good already?

Even the ancients new this: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If the architecture wasn't bad, there was not a need to make another one.
