Visibility is the main reason. These ground effect cars create huge rooster tails in wet conditions which completely ruins visibility. Combine that with a wet tyre that has a very narrow operating window (something Pirelli has been criticized for over the past few years) and you'll get the situation you describe: the window where the full wets are actually faster but it's still raceable is vanishingly small.
