Because sound is limited by the medium it travels through. As in, it can only go as fast as the stuff it’s made of. Light is not limited by that.

Light is an oscillating pair of electric and magnetic waves. Electric and magnetic waves can go as fast as anything can go, incidentally called the speed of light.
