probably because getting town watch for free is much more advantageous than getting town patrol for free. they get free town watch in the feudal age where the TC should be making villagers constantly. also it costs 75 food which means you basically get 1.5 extra villagers and extra TC time because of this, which can have a significant impact in early feudal age. another reason is the impact of town watch is more than the impact of town patrol - for eg. a dark age TC has 7 LOS. after town watch, it increases to 11 LOS which is a 57% increase. then after town patrol, it increases to 15 which is only a 36 % increase from the previous 11 LOS. and remember, this is for all of your buildings, not just the TC!
