Because the people who bought the company’s shares now have a financial stake in the company’s stock price.
If you invest $5000 in a company, you *absolutely* do not want to see the share price drop. And if the people running the company can’t keep the stock price up, then you as a shareholder can vote to sack them and replace them with people who can.
Basically, if the CEO doesn’t keep the stock price up, they don’t keep their job
