Two reasons.

1. Up until now, no one asked.
2. a lot of sausage recipes are "in our heads" or we make as we go. Our Kilebasa recipe was handed down through the family by making it, not by a recipe. I'll try to work on something close but I'll talk with the expert (wife) first.

We use Emeril's recipe for Boudin, has worked for us.

Seafood sausages: we search for something interesting on the internet and make it.

As for other recipes here is the Bratwurst recipie we use. Got it off this list years ago. Still the best for us.
