Inquiry-based learning has been promoted more within our system's Early Years and Primary programs to date but is evolving through the later grades. In most cases, the reason why it's not implemented is that teachers are simply not aware of how to make it work in their programs. Without sufficient training and time to process change, many teachers revert back to that with which they are comfortable. What I like about the infographic below that I found on Edudemic (http://www.edudemic.com/inquiry-process/), is that it allows teachers to realize that it's not an overly challenging concept or educational fad. The infographic simplifies the concept so that hesitant teachers can realize that they are likely already doing aspects of the inquiry process already - they may just need to "tweak" what they are already doing.
