There was nothing 540 PTO-powered that a Cub could run. Why bother going to the expense of having a useless 540 PTO?
Everything either needed a much larger tractor, or was belt-driven. As time went on the 540 PTO implement situation did not get any better so there was never any reason to add the 540 PTO.
Really, what 540 PTO implement are you going to run with ~9HP? Even the smallest PTO implements need 20+ HP to run.
In the long run it was a good call because many Cubs went on to become mowing machines. The engine-speed PTO meant you only needed a ~7" belt pulley to drive the mower. A 540 PTO would require a ~21" belt pulley.
