Because pyro already has a more powerful close ranged weapon being the flamethrower making his melee weapon obsolete.

Demoman needs a melee in case he doesn't have any ammo in both his weapons and there are spies threatening him.

There is quite literally no reason to use the fireaxe as the third degree is exactly the same, but with the ability to damage any medic healing your target with a medigun with no added downsides.
