Maybe because coroutines aren't a problem that needs to be solved. :-)
Seriously though, what is the actual problem to which you feel
greenlets are a good solution?  Answering that might reveal that
relatively few people actually face the problem described,
thus few people bother with its solution...

"Green threads" is a term that is fairly widely used for
non-native (non-OS) threads, though I have no idea of the
origin.  Presumably these are a lightweight type of non-
native thread, thus greenlet.
