Why no minimum # of TX in a block?

Now that bitcoin gets a fair amount of use, why isn't their any logic built in to qualify each block not only with a nonce but with a minimum # of transactions?

for example check this out, it happened to be mined 1 minute after the previous block

I know this would encourage different behavior like miners keeping some reserve transactions but there must be enough no mining fee tx floating around to meet that need
