Because I think it would be funny and/or interesting to ride around on a retro MTB with a very cheap eBay tri-spoke or something similar. Edit: see my username.
We've had a similar discussion in the past; I'm guessing you won't consider this a sensible use of time or money? Fair enough really.

Search for 559 trispokes instead :) There are a lot of Spin trispokes out there in 26"/559, probably more than there are 650C/571 clincher ones since racing on clinchers didn't come into fashion until 650C went out of fashion for normal sized people.

Why would you want to? 559 rims are much easier to find, and skinny 559 road tyres are about as common these days as 571 tyres.
