A self destruct on a satellite would likely add unwanted weight and danger for getting it off of the ground.
If that self destruct is explosive, I'm sure there would be a pretty negative reaction to having that in orbit; it'd be a 1 percent chance of a tiny bomb surviving reentry and hitting a populated area giving the media something to get overly excited about.
Also I don't trust NASA enough to fly bombs.
