Because people great and small are afraid of programming. It is the big hidden terror inside of a circus box that grown-ups use to terrify children and village idiots. Serious applications seem so complex with their millions of lines of code that people are simply scared off. I know that the industry is now trying to entice youth and professionals to begin learning code with things like http://code.org http://code.org, but they need to focus more on the rewards (i.e. like how much money you can make, and job stability even during economic crises). Learning to code is hard, and you need to commit your brain to 3 years of serious edumacation, and then 5 years of industry experience if you want it to succeed. That's a tough bill for anyone to swallow.
