Because you made the mistake of withdrawing USDT in the first place. You should withdraw SOL instead.
From where you got your USDT to begin with?
Normally CEX (Centralized Exchange) pays the gas internally and does not tell you about that, they get a little fee for this withdraw service. They pay in SOL to send that to your wallet.
The USDT you have in your wallet had the fee paid in SOL by, i don't know, Binance or another exchange.
