Because it doesn't solve the problem, it only delays it by a month or so. What will happen is where the fan is will be no frost, but the rest of the fins will be covered. Moving the fan only moves the spot of no frost. All the time the freezer will be building up frost which will need to be taken care of.
Did you try one of the clip-on fans? Because the fan does solve the problem in my refrigerator.
Since getting the clip-on fan, I can count on one hand the number of times I've gotten frost on any of my fins, and moving the fan over for a day always fixes it, and then I move it back. And it happens only in places like Seattle in the winter, where the conditions are terrible for refrigerator/freezer frost. Otherwise, I don't have only a spot of no frost.
I have a 4-door Norcold, but I would think that would actually make it worse because there's a much bigger area of fins to frost up, but it doesn't happen. So I think it would work really well in a smaller refrigerator.
The freezer still has to be defrosted (and more frequently in damp weather), but I don't expect the fan on the fins to affect that.
