There can be several reasons:
a) (maybe) hardware support for what NAPI needs to operate
b) Someone who has the time to code it
c) Someone who has the will to code it
d) Someone who has the expertise to code it
e) Absence of a real need to do so. Maybe 8139too applies only for
   10/100 Mbps ethernet cards where "network interrupt mitigation" is not
   that necessary

And as someone will end up saying, "patches are always wellcome" :-)
