Because it’s bullshit. You aren’t depressed because of a chemical imbalance. You are depressed because of some trauma in your life, or because you’re leading an unhappy life, possibly because we prioritise the wrong things, because we don’t have enough connection etc. The internet doesn’t make us more connected, it makes us less connected.
