Why don't all the stock exchanges merge into one global stock exchange?

Each stock exchange is a separate corporation. Although regulated, they are not run by any government.

To merge would require some monetary incentive.

You could as easily ask "Why don't all the corporations in the world merge?"

Different currencies and the location would be a pain if it wasn't where you live

With global, virtually instant, communications why would they want to?
