It's likely because [allowAdminChanges](https://craftcms.com/docs/3.x/config/config-settings.html#allowadminchanges) is set to false for the staging/production environment in the `config/general.php` file. This is generally done purposefully so that you don't run into any issues with [project config](https://craftcms.com/docs/3.x/project-config.html).
