Because of physics, basically. The way light has to pass through your camera’s aperature and lens. It’s fairly hard to describe how a camera works in an ELI5 way, with no visual aids.

But to achieve the best possible chance of having most of the image in focus, you want to have bright light so outside and sunny and shoot images that are further away.

The less light you have, and if you have a photo that mixes really close stuff and far stuff together, it makes it nearly impossible to have everything in focus, without some specialized camera.
