Because that is just inefficient barbarism. Why physically pillage a nation when you can economically dominate it, culturally assimilate its youth with your media, and have its own citizens lobby for your corporate interests? Conquest 2.0 is about making them give it to you willingly while thinking they won.

Waging modern warfare is expensive as fuck and you would most likely spend more money on military operations than you would actually gain from stealing stuff, not to mention you would become a pariah in the international community. Modern wealth is generated by having educated citizens be productive, physically stealing someone's gold or silver won't get you there.
