Because that’s the most easily accessible place (as opposed to, say, the crotch) that has nice thick veins good for drawing blood, that aren’t dangerous to pierce, like the arteries in your neck for example.

And I don’t know how true that is, as I don’t have the personal experience, but it seems like it’d be the least painful/uncomfortable.
