Does anyone know why 3 phase power in not put into homes?

The building I work in is like a small house and it has 3 phase power with
all single phase equipment hooked up in a delta configuration.
The only 3-phase equipment is the heater.  If homes had 3 phase power, then
consumer products that contained motors could use the more efficient 3 phase
motors.
