They want to have everything as close together as possible which reduces the time that electricity needs to go from point a to point b, speeding up the processing of the chip. It also reduces the amount of power needed by a bit, but speed is the primary concern.

At some point the fragility of the pins and components are worth the cost to have higher speed/lower power chips
