Couple of reasons. The first is that most commercial venison / cervina is destined for foreign markets or the restaurant trade. The second is the expense and that the lack of intramuscular fat makes it very easy to fuck up that expensive piece of meat so people are reluctant to buy and therefore supermarkets are reluctant to stock.
