Possibly because there are no examples of true commensalism in nature to find. If you think about it, it seems almost irrational to suggest that two species could have an interaction and one of those species would experience an absolute net zero effect on its ecology. Maybe we just haven't looked closely enough at the relationships presented in our textbooks. You can poke holes in every one out there.

So, if we accept that the term Commensalism is at best a functional term and at worst a term of convenience, we can move on.
