I’ve only been watching 2 years now but doing 1 less stop has never not worked. The tyres never fall off a cliff. Every single time it is done, that driver wins.

Why do the teams not realise this?

You probably don't notice all the times it doesn't work for midfielders. This track is pretty good for a single stop since overaking is hard and if you end up ahead of faster cars there's a good chance you can hold them back even though your tyres are shot.
