I guess because you are discussing 2$ web hosts. And if you pay 2$, do
you really expect any service at all? So you would need to have an
actual human being (who is paid, and I guess a bit more than 2 dollars
an hour) to do something for you.
I am sure if you are willing to pay a reasonable price for it, most web
hosts will install all kinds of software for you. It is just not the
price range you are talking about.

Cheers,
Dirk
