The financial consequences of orchestrating such an attack outweigh any potential gains that could be made.  If you are a miner who has invested heavily in mining hardware which is engineered specifically for one single algorithm, it's not in your interests to destroy the credibility of one of the few coins you can mine with that hardware.  The incentive to secure the chain always outweighs the incentive to attack it.
