Pat that is really aggravating, they grow cows without the tri tip in Wisconsin and cows without the brisket in Jordan. Genetics I guess.

I was reading an article, and it pointed out that briskets, and tri-tip are fairly small cuts, and there are only two per cow. There are only a few ways they can be sold, so most stores don't want to deal with them. It also stated tri-tip is now generally ground, but may become more available since there is a growing interest.

The other cuts (also generally two per cow) are much larger and more versatile. For example you can take a top loin or shoulder, and butcher it into many different cuts.
