"Save expertise" isn't used simply because it would break bounded accuracy.  To be sure, skill expertise explicitly breaks bounded accuracy as well, but since skills have comparatively minor in-game effects, and there are essentially no magic items which grant a permanent bonus to skills (certainly compared to saves) the results tend not to cause problems in actual play.</blockquote>
