Because it's unnecessary, messy, and anticlimactic. Nothing in the universe needs a divine creator; if you give it one, you're tearing down the whole simplicity and beauty of the physical universe by giving it an extra layer of meaningless explanation.
The fascinating characteristics of the universe are so fascinating because of how simple they are. God is anything but simple.

The very existence of everything is a miracle. Again, science to some extent can explain how but can never explain why. We are all seeking the the answer to that question and God is the answer for many, while others choose to find answers in other things.

Past a certain level, there are no why's or explanations. Things just are the way they are. For some, that basic reality is God. For others, it's the physical laws of the universe. Science can explain why, at least as far as the question "why" makes sense.
