Same reason why adult luna moths literally don't have mouths and have to mate asap after becoming adults before they die of starvation.
Nature is not optimized. Humans are not optimized. Even at 100% peak health we are not optimized. For example, homo sapiens reproduction should be considered the laughing stock of the animal kingdom.
I wish 21st century humans weren't so arrogant. We're not advanced. No, technology isn't great. We're living in the past and many of the things we take for fact will be proven to be completely moronic in the future. Some humility could help us grow, including in the health department if you know what I mean.
