We don’t because no one has run a clinical trial to find out why :(

Would a clinical trial tell why? Or only who it works for and who it doesn't?
Well you’d have to do basic research, come up with a hypothesis, then run a clinical trial to test that hypothesis. And hopefully find useful information although clinical trials do fail.
