Greetings Joe,
After some fourty years of wondering the answer for me is
-- because other people force them to do so.

Again, my answer after forty years -- because so many people want to put
all people in some or other box or cage. They are driven to make a zoo out
of humankind to stare safely at them.

Yes, it is the easiest form of "zoo keeping" to ensure safety for the
encaged animals according to their "kind". Wait till the cages get broken
to see something different.
With care and best wishes
