I've wondered that myself. Maybe because standard non-inflatable PFDs are inherently buoyant? That may be something inflatable manufacturers need to say for liability in the event there is an air leak?
I have a Mustang inflatable, and I think at the time I purchased it, it had the highest buoyancy rating (35lbs), but that was a couple years ago so there may be higher ones out there now. I think an average person only needs around 10lbs to keep their head above water.
