Because they are small. Small things are typically easy to bend. And typically the risk of damaging them is pretty low as you will usually just remove it from the packaging slotted into the CPU slot and lower a lever and you’re done

The chance to bend pins accidentally is pretty minimal unless you just straight up like drop it or something and it is somewhat possible to straighten the pins yourself just a bit time-consuming and frustrating
