Exactly. I know people say there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers but I'm going to take an exception in this case. It's just pointless to get a logical explaination for languages. It's an art, not a science.
Why do they use は as a topic marker, why not use つ or わ or ゐ, i mean who cares, everyone got "used" to using は and that's the way it is.
There are more valid WHY questions related to Japanese but are equally pointless.
Why is 消耗 pronounced しょうもう when it SHOULD be しょうこう. But you know what, people got it so wrong that it is now correct to mispronounce 耗, big deal, stick with it.
Why does 咲く mean blossom when the the character 咲 has no such meaning whatsoever. Well someone just made it up and it sticked, and thats the way it is.
Keep it up if you want to just frustrate yourself.
