Bcoz, they are different in nature and they can't be easily tamed and trained like horses and cows.

Zebras can be domesticated..If lions can be domesticated ( See the film Born Free) and even tigers and leopards( Read about Billy Arjan Singh and Dudhwa national park) so can zebras. It is just that humans have never tried to domesticate them. And thank God they haven't. Zebras are related to horses and humans would have made them do all kinds of terrible work instead of letting them run free in the wild.

To be domesticated ,animals must meet certain criteria like 1) animals should have good disposition 2) should not panic under pressure 3) happy to breed in captivity etc, Zebras" unpredictable nature and tendancy to attack humans preclude them from being good candidates for domestication,
