Because they have to incentivize the less ideal flights or no one would buy tickets on them. If it cost the same to go direct or to have a layover somewhere, no one would ever pick the layover and they might have trouble filling planes. By making the longer and more aggravating flights cheaper, they get people to actually use them.
