I think it's because they're mostly confined to CONUS operations. It's sort of like the FBI's HRT... by many accounts, their crisis incident tactical response capabilities rival that of Delta or DEVGRU (on paper, at least), but I think the fact that they're regarded nominally as "domestic law enforcement" instead of "international counter-terrorism" sort of makes people disregard their abilities.

The Coast Guard doesn't have any SOF units, although I think they do have units that can be described as, to use a USMC term, "special operations-capable." Their Maritime Security Response Teams are considered by some as perhaps the best VBSS units in the US, because VBSS is practically all they do and they continuously train in it (whereas Navy and USMC VBSS units are generally provisional/ad hoc organizations composed of personnel who have "full-time" jobs doing something else in the service).
