Why don't contact lenses come in a lower CYL?

So, I have "pretty good" eyes, and have a weak glasses/contact prescription for corrective vision.My glasses prescription calls for a -.75CYL in left eye, and a -.50 in the right (told you it ain't bad). But my contact lens prescription calls for -.75CYL in BOTH eyes. I understand that they don't make contacts for a .50CYL.It only goes down to a -.75.

My question is, why don't they make a -0.50 power contact lens?

just curious. BTW… I know my astigmatism is not "strong", so I don't need that included with the explanation.
