Because

1) Unless you are an IP lawyer yourself, you are very likely to end up
   with something that is either ambiguous, full of loopholes, or
   unenforceable.

2) It makes life harder for your users, because they have to read and
   understand yet another license, instead of just accepting one they
   already know.
