Since whatever the poor used must have been something that could not endure staying the same shape for years and years to come. And because when whoever took over the Romans they kept the good stuff ( Rich romans houses and mansions...) and destroyed the things they didn't need ( poor people things)

Addition

Look for books by Mary Beard on the excavations at Pompeii. For example the contents of the sewers can be examined to find what the rich and poor ate. She says the poor were surprisingly well fed.
