In addition to the design considerations of the frame as others have mentioned, a fifth wheel, by design, has to have a substantial lifting system (compared to the relatively light duty tongue jack on a TT) at the front end anyhow - adding a second set of jacks toward the rear and an automatic control to make it into a self leveling system is less of an expense than a complete system on a TT would be.
I gotta say though, I fell and broke my ankle last week, and really wish I had an automatic system on our TT now. Getting down to put my cordless drill on the stabilizers became a major task all of a sudden!
