Because the ESP can only barely do WiFi. You can get a couple of Mbps under ideal conditions. It is not a general purpose WiFi adapter, it's a low power IoT chip.
A general purpose WiFi adapter can do gigabit sustained connections over PCI or some other high speed interface. Entirely different class of chip.

- shakna 2y agoAnecdote only: I've never consistently managed 10mb/s without integrating some sort of cooling system. Not without frying the chip.
