Same reason the english language does. For the most part they used to be pronounced and not useless but languages change over time. People pronounce things differently but written language doesn’t change.

As an example your question should read “Y dus the French langwage hav so meny words with useles leters” if our alphabet always switched for phonetics (thats aside from accents)
