Roundup/Glyphosate is such a nasty chemical. Farmers use it in practice regularly for crop desiccation [1] in order to yield more harvest cycles. Why do we still allow it knowing what we know?

Because cash rules everything around me ("CREAM"), aka dolla dolla bill yall.

Or to put it another way, roundup is made by a large, influential company (Monsanto) and they can pressure regulatory agencies & politicians.

Monsanto is big money, that's why. Just like everything else in our blown out civilization.
