Because the end goal is maximising utility, not perfectly enforcing an imaginary version of property rights. Inequality should exist in as far as it is necessary to incentivise utility generating endeavours. Beyond that it's abhorrent. You don't get to steal things because that's not an equitable way to redistribute wealth, but the government might tax the rich neighbour and use the money to provide free public transport.
