Because AI still has a hard time turning natural language descriptions of quantities into numbers. For instance, it has a very hard time with the difference between 'two' and 'two more'.

I can't tell you the number of times I've seen "50% increase" to mean the correct thing, only for somebody to use "200% increase" to mean 2x and not 3x the original number.

Because it's not a calculator, and math is actually very very hard.
