Because ALIGN=LEFT was widely used in early '96, ALIGN=JUSTIFY wasn't.
It is generally agreed that adding presenational markup in HTML is not
a good idea. Instead, style sheet will allow us to enhance the
presentation of HTML documents well beyond any deployed or proposed
attributes. Your specific concern is addressed in CSS1 [1]:
P { text-align: justify }
The above example would justify all P elements.
