why are airplane tickets so hard to get refunded?

I understand last minute cancelations being an issue, but why is it so unheard of for an airline to refund you the price of a ticket when you cancel far in advance?

The economics of airlines are not conducive to returns. An airline needs to be as confident as it can about how many seats are selling on a particular route to determine if that route is profitable or not. Allowing people to make last minute cancellations and returns makes that WAY harder to forecast
