Because its advantages over three phase are outweighed by the cost of additional conductors.
A two-phase system is archaic and you are unlikely to find it in use anywhere these days, so it is mainly of historical interest. A two-phase, three-wire system, consists of two phase voltages, displaced from each other by 90 electrical degrees, and a phase voltage which is 1.414 x phase voltage.A three-phase system consists of three phase voltages which are displaced from each other by 120 electrical degrees. In the case of a three-phase, three-wire, system, the line voltages are numerically equal to the phase voltages; in the case of a three-phase, four-wire, system, the line voltages are 1.732 x phase voltage.

A two-phase a.c. system is an archaic system, in which two phase voltages are generated 90 electrical degrees apart. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the US 'split phase' system that supplies North American homes. A two-phase system can be a four-wire system, or a three-wire system, and was useful because, unlike a single-phase system, it could create naturally rotating magnetic fields in induction motors. It has long been superseded by the three-phase system.
No, because household electrical systems are only comprised of a single phase.
The number of Volts in a residential service drop in the US is either 120V 2 Wire, 120V-208V Network, or 120-240V 3 Wire. A 120-208V Network service is not single phase, but its 120V portion is.
A two-phase system is an archaic 'polyphase' system, in which two phase voltages are displaced by 90 electrical degrees, enabling the use of self-starting induction motors. It's unlikely you'll come across a two-phase system these days.
The three phase AC system has changed society due to it's direct effect on the economy and the reliability of the electrical source. Economy reasons due to less wire are being used comparing the single phase system. as well as less electrical poles for the transmission process of the electrical p from one area to another. Reliability reasons due to the higher efficiency and the lower line losses comparing to the single phase !
A "three-phase system" is a polyphase system having three phases. The term "polyphase system" just means a system having multiple phases. If it is used by itself, "a polyphase system" doesn't mean "a three-phase system".
providing mission essential power
i think its use for 3 phase connection.
On three phase services over 200 amps the electrical code allows the electrical contractor to reduce the size of the neutral wire . This saves the customer money. There are conditions as to how much the neutral can be reduced but it is not as low as half the supply conductors. The reason that the neutral can be reduced is that it only carries the unbalanced current on the three phase four wire system.
A rotary phase converter is a device that changes single phase electrical power into multiple phase electrical power.
