Why not usual topology in measure theory ?

Measure theory was introduced in the early 1900s by Lebesgue, at the same time with Hausdorff introducing the usual concept of topology, and publishing it in his book just before World War I. Measure theory is full with convergence and limit properties of measures, functions and integrals. Yet none of them uses usual toplogy. Is there a well thought out reply to why such a thing happens ?
