Why don't we build a 2 or 4 phase AC generators?

[kimtina]

hi everyone i have one problem with ac generator. there are single phase or 3 phase ac generator so why we don't build a 2 phase or 4 phase generator for generate electricity.

3 phase generator

power efficient.
and it's the least phase need to drive motor.
