Because we decided to place as many things in the market as possible, so necessities of life like housing and food can only be got via labor for the employer class who underpay (that's where profit comes from) and if they don't like you you can't even access that low pay and become homeless and either starve, live off charity, or eat extremely unhealthily which reduces your capacity to be useful to the employer class over time.
Redefining basic necessities as human rights and placing them outside the market will do so much to reduce poverty it will blow peoples' minds. However, this will of course come at the expense of the privileges of the powerful so such things are opposed.
It's helpful to think of this as a design question. Do we design a UI that many users fail at or is the problem the system design?
