I have thought the same thing, but I suppose it is because they work in small groups and don't really interact with standard soldiers much, they don't really need fancy ranks if they are just ordering each other around.
Also, they get their orders from very high up, so if the Spartans are on a mission, it's not like some Lieutenant or something could tell the Chief to stop what he is doing and give him a hand, only someone of very high rank would be able to override his current orders. See what I mean?
It seems like the only time the Chief's lowly rank ever made things hard for him was it the book, The Flood, when the ODST Major was ordering him around.
