Because they worsen traffic, as they create high density traffic zones which then need to have bigger highways around it, then you have got the fact that Paris's low city profile is a monument on itself, so city administrators don't want to disturb that too much, then there's the issue of physical construction of em as paris is a river bank city, quite sandy ground iirc

Paris does have areas which have high rise office buildings tho, it is just not the zones people know much about because they are not the touristic areas
