Why aren’t all births conducted under general anesthesia in modern times?

TL’DR: there’s a lot the body will do to prepare itself, if allowed to go through the process naturally. Modern practices are great for extreme cases, but make normal cases often worse and more expensive.
Because even though people are indoctrinated to think otherwise, the natural way is actually better, batting extreme cases. (US) doctors are encouraged to take actions that show they “did everything in their means” to make things go right in order to motivate lawsuits and such. In reality though, the body triggering the birth will release hormones that block pain receptors, make muscles crazy flexible, etc. If it is allowed to happen naturally. It’s like WAY easier (by comparison) to do it in the position the body wants, rather than the anatomically terrible position of lying on one’s back. The list goes on.
