Because proxy caching is useless in today's internet and has been for at 
least a decade. Many of us quit bothering with it years ago when we saw that 
we had only a few percent of actual hits per hour. The other problem is 
cache corruption for the few things that do get cached. This made more sense 
when almost nobody had broadband and websites were rather static with 
limited content.

The proxy is best used for other uses and many who use redirectors set the 
cache at 0. I only use it for urlfilter. 

If you stream internet music you will not want it going through Squid at 
all. You'll get your tags mutilated and audio anomalies such as chirps, 
spits, and thunks.
