People fail to maintain their cars properly ,including tire pressure, and this is the reason for the focus on underinflation. If you neglect your tires, eventually the pressure will drop creating a dangerous situation. This is a COMMON problem. Overinflation is not a common problem as tires do not spontaneously jump up in pressure. Someone has to overinflate them on purpose. I'm sure after this "hypermiling" trend becomes more well known, and a few 60 PSI tires blow violently causing mayhem on the freeways, the danger of overinflation will spark a few tire pressure studies focusing on overinflation.
