I think its because the 4cylinder engines are naturally balanced, and don't need to have something to prevent the "shaking" that a 5cylinder engine can have at idle due to the inherent off balance engine configuration. At higher speeds the flywheel/crank pulley balanced weight eliminates this. At least I think thats how it works.
