probably because giants, dinosaurs and sea kings are more common compared to dragons. perhaps in their world the dragons are believed to be extinct.

and in fairness to oda's writing, it's not as if he pulled that idea of dragons out of his ass. he did hint on their existence when ryuuma appeared in one piece. so it's not that farfetched.
