Because half the country votes for a party that explicitly says this is a good way to run things, and the other half votes for a party that says it isn't great, but we shouldn't really do anything meaningful about it.

Until there is mass "you are all assholes and we demand a more representative electoral system" demonstrations, nothing will change.

Readers may note that this applies to basically every problem in the US right now
