I suspect because they are expoxy.
Totally agree. If you have a raw, unfinshed concrete slab driveway, just pick out a color of solid concrete stain from Home Depot or Lowes. Water based, easy to roll on like latex paint. You might need two coats at first, but after that you can simply roll another coat on every other year or so to make it look like new. Non slippery, and looks professional.
