Matching is uncommon in within-subjects designs because these designs inherently control for individual differences by having the same participants undergo all conditions. This eliminates the need for matching, as each participant serves as their own control, reducing variability due to personal characteristics. Additionally, matching can complicate the analysis and may not provide significant advantages when the within-subjects design is already effectively minimizing confounding variables.
