because sulfur causes acid rain and respiratory problems and infrastructure damage etc. you're putting sulfuric acid into the atmosphere, just like carbonating water produces carbonic acid that eats your teeth. It's not fundamentally different from burning coal, and coal obviously had to be stopped too, I don't know why it's really a question that we need to avoid harmful pollutants even if they have a fringe benefit.
