Because it's no longer there -- the tail call replaces it.  Try to run
this in DrRacket (exactly as is, don't reindent):

                   (define (foo3 x)
                     (/ x "1"))

  (define (foo2 x)
    (foo3 x))
                   (define (foo1 x)
                     (list (foo2 x)))
  (define (foo0 x)
    (car (foo1 x)))

           (+ 1 (foo0 3))

and you'll see that the arrows skip `foo2'.
