Actually there are some races, at least in NL and D, but since it's not a discipline at the world championships, there's just very little interest. More or less like tandem sprint.
Problem with stayer / demi fond races was that most times the races were fixed by the pacemakers.
Also, many tracks are not suitable for the stayer races.
Either the dimensions are not suitabe (length, width, inclination) or the wood is that much worn that it cannot take the load & forces any longer.
