Why does Glock refuse to put a thumb safety on its pistols?

Because, according to Glock owners, "your brain is the safety." Glock advisors also state, "keep your bugger finger off the bang switch."

Quite frankly, I prefer DA/SA semi automatic pistols for serious work:

And 1911s for range enjoyment. Best trigger ever!

Because Gaston Glock doesn’t have a blog to pimp. 8~)

Why does Glock refuse to put a thumb safety on its pistols?

Because it doesn't need one. Your finger should be your "safety".

Also, are you trolling?

Why no thumb safety?

If you train with the gun properly, you don’t need one. And arguably it gives one a small time advantage when going from holster to shots on target. One less step in the path. I have trained with but glock and 1911. I love the 1911 but the glock is simpler thus faster.
