That's because lots of investment money go in treatments, not diagnosis. Diagnosed patients are captive consumers. They will pay to get better.

AI has the potential to help a lot with diagnosis, but considering that many relevant data don't even enter the system, I have doubts about how effective it could be. On the other hand, I would not trust a cloud AI (or cloud in general) to process my medical data. The temptation to abuse that access for marketing, profiling, insurance prices, etc. would be irresistible.
