Because it’s a pain in the ass to make it happen.

I'm one of those odd ducks that prefers my days off broken up. I like working two or three days and then getting a break. I'm always a bit peeved when I get two days off in a row, especially since I have one set day off so I know I will likely have a five or six day stretch into the next week before I get a break again.

Oh clopenings used to really piss me off! Thankfully my availability makes them impossible now, lol.
I only had one manager when I was a lead at Sears who never scheduled his staff to close and then open. He got it. Everyone else sucked.
can't touch this

Mandatory clopening is actually illegal in my state but they can get away with it if it's """voluntary""" and the TM isn't a minor. But if you hit up leadership and say you can't work that clopen shift, they're technically and legally obligated to make edits and fix it, which, depending on how badly you need money can often backfire as they're extremely likely to just unschedule rather than reschedule
ASANTS absoluetley. At my store the TMs who have good attendance and don't have to babysit get every other weekend off, actually we give them whatever schedule they want or need because we need these TMs to keep up this work ethic. The rest of the TM's have to work whatever their availability allows them to work and that's that. You earn your schedule at my store, you can also lose your schedule if your rolling 90-day attendance starts to look like shit. It's the same with hours overall. Those who earned their hours get their full 40 hours, and now the holiday season started they let us stay for OT when available. The rest? Good luck surviving on whatever hours are left over, the crumbs.
Not fair to evenly divide hours and schedules for everyone when half the workers don't show up, show up late, and you always have to be on their ass. I have been getting four 10-hour days one week and a full five-day 40-hour week the next on a bi-weekly schedule for years now. One of the good workers makes his 36-38 hours in a 3-day-a-week schedule LOL. They let him because he's getting the work done of 3 people. Personally to me, that's fair and it's a system that has been part of our culture here that most of the new workers are having trouble understanding and adapting to.
