Because diseases are usually caused by an organism latching on to you and taking your body’s nutrients which causes harmful effects. The harmful effect is what we identify as the disease. And the organism is the “cause” of disease.
If the effect is NOT negative, then it won’t be a disease. For example gut bacteria, there is millions and millions of beneficial bacteria living in your gut, because they don’t cause problems, there isn’t a symptom, hence its not a disease.
