A policy of (figuratively) not showing your cards only works if you don't show them when you have a good OR bad hand. Otherwise it is obvious what you have depending on if you are showing or not.

Basically it is the difference between long term policy VS short term gains. ATI really isn't hurting at the moment so there really isn't any pressing need to break the "keep your opponents guessing" strategy.
