The same reason that a crap-ton of Christians can each belong to a completely distinct denomination. They use the exact same texts and come to different conclusions.
Their beliefs are vague and non-falsifiable, and people cherry pick what they want from them.

This is not true. They all share the Pentateuch (first five books), and there is some other overlap, but they don't share the same prophets, history, and story. They share some of those things. Jews don't accept Jesus as their lord or a prophet and they don't accept Mohamed. Christians also don't accept Mohamed. Muslims accept Jesus as a prophet, but not as their Lord.
There is a lot of information in their holy books that the other religions don't share, and even with the Christians keeping the entire Old Testament, they use the New Testament to change the meaning of the old texts.
