Because it's not an appealing career choice, even for those with an aptitude? Why is this such a bad thing? Computer science enrollment are dropping for everyone, precisely because it's not as glamorous a career choice as it was in its hey-day. Perhaps women are more selective in their career choices? The point is, I don't think this is evidence for anything.
We need to restrain ourselves from trying to make the career more appealing specifically to one gender, to fix a gender imbalance we perceive to be a problem.
