No pump in pits question!

I didn't have enough air in my tires today. I ended up with the tire rolling and losing air. I ran to the pit and was told 'no outside support.' In mountain biking we have mechanics at every feed zone. Why isn't there someone at the pits in cross to assist with flats? I know, it is super serious racing just below the Tour De France but really? Sorry for cheap shop but cross needs a giant laxative :)
