I'm guessing: because of cheap labor. Writing correct and/or fast software involves quite a bit of "don't do stupid things" all across the development process. Doing these things right doesn't add much time to development, but one has to first learn how to do these things right. A fresh and inexperienced developer, or the "one year of experience repeated 10 times" person that only worked at "move fast and break things" project isn't going to have this knowledge, but will be cheaper to hire.
