Probably for the same reason Paul wasn't in the habit of baptizing. People would be going around saying "I was baptized by Jesus, look at me!"

I have an idea as to why Jesus baptized no one, but the real puzzler to me is
why his disciples were baptizing way ahead of Jesus' instructions at Matt 28:19.

Jesus' mission followed a scheduled itinerary, i.e. he was micromanaged.
• John 4:34 . . My food, said Jesus, is to do the will of him who sent me
• John 6:38 . . I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but
the will of Him who sent me
• John 8:28 . . I do nothing on my own initiative
• John 8:29 . . He that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me
alone; for I do always those things that please Him.
• John 14:31 . . I do exactly what my Father has commanded me.
So then, Jesus didn't do any baptizing primarily because it wasn't his
superior's wishes for him to do that.
• Phil 2:7-8 . . He made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the
form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to the death.

Jesus baptizes everyone with the Holy Spirit.
Precious friend, A Very Warm Welcome To Chat.
And a great question; hope this helps:
3 baptisms, Rightly Divided, Within God's Contexts:
(1) Prophecy/Covenants/Law for ISRAEL:
water baptism was man's operation, Commanded by God
to John the baptizer, and then by Christ to:
►►► The Twelve apostles Were Sent to {water} baptize! ◄◄◄
The TWO Main (of 12) baptismS =
A) water, For remission of sins/induction into Israeli "priesthood!":
(Matthew_3:5-6; Mark_1:4; Luke_3:3; John_1:31; Luke 7:29-30; Acts_10:37)
(Matthew_28:19; Mark_16:16; Acts_2:38, 22:16; Ezekiel_36:25)
+
This Is The Baptism That "Christ Performed" after ascending Into Heaven:
B) Baptism WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for
power, signs And wonders!
(Isaiah_44:3; Matthew_3:11; Mark_1:8, 16:17-18;
Luke_24:49; Acts_2:17-18, 38, 8:15-17, 11:16)
Prophecy/Covenants/Law
Q: Are these TWO "still Required" By God, for us, Today, Under Grace?
Bible Answer:
Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That DIFFER!” {online}:
(2) Mystery/GRACE! =
our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of CHRIST:
►►► Paul Was Not Sent to {water} baptize! Why Not?: ◄◄◄
Today: Only ONE Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION,
Spiritually Identifying members In (The ONE Body Of) CHRIST!!
(Ephesians_4:5; Colossians_2:12; Galatians_3:27;
Romans_6:3-4; ►►► 1 Corinthians 12:13 KJB! ◄◄◄)
--------------------------------------------------
Please Be Very RICHLY Encouraged And Edified In
The LORD JESUS CHRIST, And His Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided (+ I and II).
Grace, Peace, And JOY!...
