Why are there no proof Standing liberty quarters?

I was just flipping thru a redbook/ heritage auctions looking at how inexpensive some older proof coins can be had, 3 cent nickels, seated quarters... anyway i went to check out an average price of a slq only to find out none were authorized to be struck and only a few matte proofs exist. Why would they not make a proof of one of the most beautiful coins of that era?

Ended in 1916 and did not resume until 1936.

So, it's George's fault!

I know that this coin linked below had some people questioning its method of production. I have seen it in person and know the owner well. It is pretty freaking sweet with a much different that standard look. Not saying it is a proof, but it is different, whether it be the method of toning or perhaps just an early strike?
