Probably because we were taught to put the apostrophe after the "I", I'd.

I'm pretty sure if I'd've heard heard I'd pronounced as I'ld, I'd remember it.

The "l" is silent in America.

Would is pronounced like wood.

If the "l" wasn't silent in could, it would sound like cooled, or cold with a weird accent.

It'd be harder to understand if you heard it instead of reading it.
