Because people don't bother to remember which number a president is. What fucking value is that information to anyone ever? Does it matter if Trump was 17th, 27th, or 666th? Nope. Due to presidents serving multiple terms it's not even helpful for determining the years of their presidency.
Now in a hundred years, it will matter more to place them in the proper order for historical context, But for recent history no one needs the number to know the order.
