Mostly because they don't have the ability and can't. Good, concise communication skill is a skill that can be learned but most people are unaware of how bad they are at this. However, there is also the factor of trying to please others. Some people just cannot say No directly. Best you can do is to just redirect the person again. Don't necessarily criticize them but just say "Hey I understand but can you confirm xyz? Is that a Yes or a No" and depending on your relationship with the person, keep going or not.
