Or because protons are so light.

There's an interesting relationship between the strength of the
electrostatic repulsion between two protons, and the gravitational
attraction of protons. It works out such that it takes ~10^54 protons
gathered together in one place before the gravitational attraction can
overwhelm the electrostatic repulsion. In other words, stars as as big
and long-lived as they are because gravity is so weak.
