"Why" is a question that has little relevance in the sciences, which are used to describe "how" things work, to as close an approximation as we can measure. Science isn't the correct venue for "why" questions.

Which is why our man Einstein said those immortal words. (spooky action at a distance)
But he was wrong by arguing the moon doesn't disappear when we're not looking at it, and God doesn't play dice. (response to Bohr)
Even he was conflating the macro world (Newtonian) with the quantum world. The "why" played havoc on his mind.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
