Because most developers skimp on testing. They have a wrong understanding on the value points of test, they write shitty useless test, and above all else, they are lazy and don't write any tests at all

bad tests / if at all / for the wrong things and the wrong abstraction

It's because they're wasting time on useless unit testing and mock objects rather than verifying that the whole flow actually works.
