Often because it's more expensive to produce a display that's capable of showing 2 symbols, with 2 options. It's cheaper to just produce one setting. Also, consider that many cheap tuners use simple LCD, or LED displays that are square based graphics. The sharp symbol is easy to display than the rounded flat.

So, as you say, just remember that D-sharp is also E-flat. :)
