Because of the nature of the treaties forming the EU, and the structures it generates. It is basically a regulatory union, constructed so as to transpose power to the center, then hold it there. It can't allow the people to have too much say, as that is "populism", which gets in the way of the bureaucracy doing its thing. The only way to end / prevent this proposal from being repeated until "success" is to pass another treaty entrenching that something like Chat Control is forbidden. That is an extremely low probability event, and gets lower as more member states join.
