Because one is a safety issue when done, and one is a safety issue when not done. Not obeying the speed limit is (mostly) safe when matching the traffic around you. Not stopping fully at a stop sign is unsafe since it can lead to accidents regardless of what everyone else around you does.
Or to flip it around... obeying the speed limit but not matching the traffic around you is generally unsafe. While obeying the stop sign and stopping fully is always safe.
