Because Bitcoin's proof of work algorithm can be much more efficiently done if you build hardware that does only that. Whereas Monero is not that way. Within Bitcoin, an ASIC is thousands of times more efficient than a CPU at doing the work. The whole idea behind RandomX is that the CPU would be the absolute most efficient device on which the work algorithm could be done.
