Because Apple did not make it so that could be possible.

To transfer music to the iPhone, you have to use iTunes own Sync option. If you set the option to manually manage music, you can Dra and drop songs from the song list in iTunes / Finder to the device on the side bar.

If you are running macOS 10.15 Catalina as stated indoor device tag line, then you no longer have iTunes to worry about. On Catalina and later iTunes has been split into 3 different apps. The TV App, the Music app and the Finder.

These all update with the macOS version.
