They don't otherwise we would not be having this discussion. Phoenix started out briefly with traditional growth expanding from downtown outward but early on its history (the 50's), cars, freeways, and suburbia happened which changed the fabric of cities everywhere. LA and Dallas were already big to have grown largish urban centers, Phoenix was not even a blip on anyone's radar but even their development decentralized which is why their cores are pretty small given their massive populations...as Crawford mentioned above.
