Because if you use a somewhat odd phrasing, uncommon terms, weird sentence structure, etc - human beings are very good at figuring out what is meant. We can interpolate, we can extrapolate, we can estimate and understand context. Very incomplete language can still be understood with the right context.
A compiler cannot do these things. The code must follow the rules of the language perfectly, or the code won't compile. And further, it doesn't understand intention like a human can. It doesn't know that you intended to loop over all items in a collection - if you have an off-by-one error it'll happily compile that regardless.
