Why are there no BGA chips with triangular tessellation of circular pads?

A triangular tiling would allow π⁄√12 or 90.69% of the footprint to be reserved for the solder balls and the surrounding clearance, while the ubiquitous square tiling only allows π/4 or 78.54% of the footprint to be used. Why are there no BGA chips with triangular tessellation?
