Because in practically all previous elections (except for maybe 2000), the declaration of the media was the end of the process. We never had every vote counted by that point, but we did know who won based on the counts that had come in and math. This year the count was just slower due to so much mail-in balloting, which everyone was warned about. The "official" election was simply a rubber stamp. This whole thing with lawsuits is just Trump throwing a tantrum that he lost.
