How Come You Don't See More Outrigger Sailboats ?

It seems like the advantages of polynesian style sailboat building have been embraced by the catamaran/trimaran community

still, the outrigger model seems to be relatively rare. Is there a functional reason as to why the sailing community prefers the more symmetrical style of boats?
