In the words of Charlie Wilson "Tradition, I suppose." 
Honestly, I can't think of a reason other than that.

Is there any reason that slotted heads are not seen on 14 fret guitars |

The only structural reason I could think of would possibly be the narrower string spacing on D's and such, leading to a too-narrow space between the slots, but I don't think there is any structural reason if the slot layout is normal. |

I saw a slotted head Martin 12 string in a history of acoustic guitar book. |

I love the look of slotted head guitars. I have a twelve string thats slotted and I love it. But I hate it when it comes to restringing. What a pain compared to standard tunning gears. |
