Because of things like Coriolis effect and convective currents, there just aren’t winds that blow across the equator, not at the scale that would blow a hurricane from one hemisphere to the other anyway.
Winds tend to blow along and away from the equator, not across it.
Apparently,
It’s the same (but even more dramatic) with Jupiter.
