They did; it's called USS Voyager. Its maximum sustained speed was warp 9.975.
It's not super obvious on-screen, but the Intrepid-class was considerably faster than even the Sovereign-class (Enterprise-E), let alone the older Galaxy-class (Enterprise-D).
It was also significantly less massive. And like 50% if of it was dedicated to the warp system.
Think of a better ship to strand on the other side of the galaxy than the fastest conventional warp capable ship.
That Borg ship that can generate its own wormholes.
Voyager at least had the excuse of "we might run outta gas."
