Because Javik surviving was based entirely on luck? The fact that any prothean cryo-tubes are still intact is extremely unlikely, Javik and the Ilos colony being an exception. And then you've got to take into account that it has been fifty thousand years. Like Ilos, it's likely that any that survived simply ran out of power... and of course, these are Reapers. Giant lasers and world destroying weaponry. It's unlikely that they'd miss a whole storage cache of ancient species.

Further more, it's even less likely that any of the other species managed to do the same thing. Sure, maybe they did have stasis technology, and it's very likely that they did. Unfortunately, if they tried to hide themselves until the next cycle, they'd probably face a similar fate to the Protheans.

And then there's the slim chance that they'd ever be found... Javik was found by accident, and it would be almost impossible for anyone to find these stasis pods.

And even if they did, do you think they'd be working as soldiers? There would be, at maximum (and this is assuming that all of these unlikely things actually happened), ten of each species. There would need to be enough for every person to play multiplayer as that species and still have that many of the species alive.

While possible, there are far, far too many variables.
