Because multicast wasn't well thought out and never widely implemented in a way that worked well. The fundamental problem is how much of the net do you want your packet to cover, and/or who specifies that? If a client gets to specify how-far, it's easy for a single packet to put an immense load on the net, including all the already overloaded last-mile links. -- These are my opinions.
