I'm not exactly sure, but there are many reasons that <u> has not been 
included.

* Lack of use cases for it.
* Widely considered to be presentational, not semantic.
* Redundant, use CSS instead (or <ins>, if the underline is for
   indicating inserted text).
* Was already deprecated in HTML4.

But if some people want it included, we should focus on finding reasons 
why it should be included, rather than why it currently hasn't been 
included.
