Same reason they're actively squashing libraries: money. Every time someone gives a book to someone else, every time someone borrows a book from a library, the publishers see a lost sale. In the realm of physical media they chalk it up as a cost of doing business. If they could DRM-lock paper then they'd do it in an eyeblink.
