Here are two quick reasons: time frame and cost.

Common injury while exercising:

-Torn ACL: depending on severity, the subject may be able to walk and function, without much support in the knee etc. The remedy is surgery and physical therapy, neither of which are particularly invasive to the work day - generally, the subject's ability to work any jobs not requiring motion or lifting is unaffected or only moderately altered. Subject can still be shifted to desk jobs, less strenuous tasks or etc.

Umm, some people still do manual labor jobs where they DO have to lift all day. I'm betting Scott's Miracle Gro has more than a few guys who sling 50 pound bags around on a regular basis - and they're not the guys you can automatically shift to a desk job.
