The reasons could never be fitted into an ELI5 answer in a good way, this is an absolutely huge topic with extremely many facets.

You couldn’t fit an adequate answer into a 5-page essay, let alone an ELI5 answer. Anything you will get here will be vastly inadequate and likely very biased/misinformed/one-sided opinions.
