Why? Saddam Hussein only had a few bodyguards when we captured him in his little rathole. Having a huge security entourage is a bad idea if your goal is to remain hidden and not attract attention.
Plus, if Bin Laden did have the allegiance of ISI operatives up to the very end, he probably figured that they would be able to alert him if our SF were about to drop in on him. In which case, he would have been able to escape without having a personal army of bodyguards keep the enemy busy while he slipped out.
