Probably something to do with strain on the body. Studies show T. rex couldn’t even run. Maybe a fast walk. Additionally, the way the muscles attach to the bones probably don’t support hopping.

The context of this comment is amazing.

Imagine a creature, that died over 65 million years ago (earth was at the other side of the galaxy back then) and yet we can detect how the muscles attached to the bone

    Right now you’re orbiting the galactic core (well basically, its very close) at 250,000km/h +/- ~30,000km/h (Earths rotation of the Sun).
    
    And it still took 65 million years to complete less than half an orbit of the galaxy.
