Honestly, because most emphasize function over form.

The most comfortable laptop I ever used was a T430 ThinkPad. It was thick but the cooling was fantastic, you could put it on your lap all day and it never got warm.

Now I have a laptop about as thin as a MacBook and it's significantly less comfortable than that old ThinkPad.

Also, if you do want MacBook thin, there's the Dell XPS line, Asus Zenbooks, Samsung Galaxy books, etc...
