The same reason why transport ship can carry 10 elephants but not 10 villagers. Jokes asides, yeah, these darts are supposed to have poison. Human's throwing strength is nowhere as strong as elastic energy of a warbow or crossbow. But poisoned projectiles were never widespread because it's impossible to mass-produce strong poison with medieval techs. Poison's effectiveness may fade quickly on arrow's tip. Arrows can miss, waste a lot of poison. Even if an arrow hit, it's not guaranteed to penetrate armour.
