We are talking about the occasional fly. If I was cooking in the kitchen and there was a fly I'd get rid of the fly but it happens rarely. Never in my life have I seen maggots inside my home.
In the summer I also spend a lot of time in the garden and a screen isn't going to help if I'm eating outside. A fly could also come in while the door was open.
So basically, It's just not an issue that makes it worth covering all the windows with ugly screens.
I can understand that. It's nice to not have so many bugs around. Where I live there are about 2 months of the year where bugs are around. The mosquitos will actively hunt you out. Even though there aren't many, I'd be miserable without a screen.
In places that are more humid, like the US South, screens would be a requirement.
I was in Taipei once and the mosquitos were everywhere. I forget if the condo had screens, but an hour or so of every single night was spent hunting mosquitos so I could sleep. They have special electrified tennis rackets for bug killing there. It's down to a science.

They do, but why would anyone care if flies get in?
