EA, why do you hate commas? 10000000 is really annoying to read.

As a programmer (albeit an amateur one) I can tell you that getting commas to display in numbers can be a massive nuisance. Unless the programming language has a subroutine built in to do that, it's a pain. And if you're using the number as an actual number somewhere else in the program it's a DOUBLE pain.
Secondarily, there's the consideration of the allocated space for the numbers. Commas take up space. I've seen some glitches posted in the forum where huge numbers run off the 'page' of the popup.
Or... Some exec may have made the decision not to put commas in. Execs will do that.
But I'm betting it's the second one. Just not enough space.
