I am assuming by 'fancy' you mean flashy. The reason most higher ranked kendoka don't use real flashy kendogu is that they prefer to let their kendo do the talking. Most of them have high quality kendogu, just not flashy (although there are certainly some higher ranked kendoka that do have somewhat flashy kendogu such as brightly colored do, white kendogu, etc). I have always just assumed that it is due to being humble as opposed to being in your face about rank and skill.
