Christians believe that God answers prayers and does miraculous healings...but why does he never ever heal an amputee?

I know this feels like a gotcha question and maybe on some level it is but mainly i'm just really curious about what Christians think the answer is.
I watched a video where this question was addressed by a panel of Christians and i was eager to finally hear some theological explanation for this problematic oversight....i was disappointed.
The completely failed to answer the question and pretended the question was more like "why doesn't god heal everyone all the time"

God seems to heal mental illness or diseases like cancer which are known to go into spontaneous remission and help people find their keys or get needed money from unexpected sources...but never grows so much as a finger back.

So, Christians....why has God never healed a single amputee?

P.s In case anyone is interested in hearing the apologist's answers for themselves:

Those are called "creative miracles" - I have heard of them happing when I watched GodTV.
@Matt85

Never heard that term. Neat.
But no one ever documented such a miracle?

@Pikachu Searching just now I found a few, but this came to my mind for some reason, which I had read about many years ago now:

That kind of is a creative miracle, though not as blantantly visible like a new arm or leg.
@Matt85

Absolutely amazing...but apparently down to a rare but known genetic anomaly and not intercessory prayer.
