I remember reading about asynchronous chip design (I wish I knew where) and the reason they gave for the non-existence of asynchronous chips is that there is no framework support for it, meaning, they don't teach how to design asynchronous circuits in universities (at least not as the main way of doing things) and there is no software to help chip designers to design asynchronous chips.
