It's a Titan Clan list, not an Eldar War Engine list.
How does asking about SHTs turn into "an Eldar War Engine list" question?
Because if you add SHTs you are effectively including all the Eldar War Engines? With the possible exception of the Void Spinner, of course.

ATML don't have SHTs either...
Not sure how that is relevant.
An example. The ETC are very similar in structure to the ATML; they cpnsist solely of Titans. They do tend to have ties to the Craftworlds, and to the users of Eldar Knights (Exodites? A bit fuzzy on whether Eldar Knight Houses exist), but due to the issues of population that plague Eldar campaigns, they can't usually depend on much material support outside of whatever Outcasts are in the area.

How so?
If you want a list centered around Eldar Titans, adding competitors to the same roles detracts from that focus. Pulse Laser Revenants have largely the same role as Scorpions. Cobras are far cheaper D-Cannon platforms than Phantoms, important in many activation-centric metas. A similar point can be made for Storm Serpents and Wraithgate Phantoms. When you add the potential for certain titan configs to be supplanted by SHTs, it is a clear example of compromising the focus of the list.
