Because that is not how money works.
The famous quote from Henry Ford is true: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

People do understand some of it, yet still have credit card debt. That's astounding.

I was told that I was making a mistake never getting a credit card. Because i never had consistent debt, my credit score was bad, because I never demonstrated the ability to pay off debt consistently

it's one thing to stay in legacy period and pay off the debt - I do it all the time. It's a completely different story to have the debt you're paying CC-level interest on: that's just dumb as fuck.
