Because unless you were going very fast, the speedometer would never go past 1.

If you made the speedometer so that it was on a scale of 0.00 to 1.00 then it just becomes odd to read.

When people drive, they should be driving for 15 minutes and greater. No one gets into a car and drives for a few seconds and checks how many miles they've done so far.

Put simply, speedometers aren't marked in miles per second because it wouldn't be useful or functional.

Perhaps when the human race starts building space ships capable of intense speeds, they will adopt a miles per second speedometer, but there are better alternatives.
