That's because it's better to create AI that's simple and relatively predictable for the designers. It also makes it easier to test and fix problems. It's fairly easy to program AI that's simple but fools the player into thinking it is more "intelligent" than it actually is. It's much harder to make "smart" AI that always does what you want it to.
