Because while there is a rule against it, the umpire can only use the rule if the player is deliberately making the noise. While this is mostly the case (players are often trained to grunt as a form of opponent intimidation), it is very hard for an umpire to be 100% certain that a particular noise is entirely deliberate.
Given that games in general work best when officials use a light hand, it is easy to see why officials are reluctant to penalise grunting players. If the problem continues to attract media attention, it is likely that rules will be introduced to make it easier for umpires to penalise excessive noise whether deliberate or not.
Did anyone see the TV advert where the umpire started joining in with the squealing?

Because they're all either;
a) Fantasising over their opponent
b) They've got a toy of a sexual nature hidden around their person
c) They're just seriously horny on court and they're always
thinking about their 'fun' last night with their Tennis Racket.
d) They're all secretly lesbians.
