Because the opposite is also true. You can have great statistics without really contributing to winning basketball games, which is the goal. Advanced stats try to mitigate this, but they will never be perfect.

So if you have to relatively even players, and one wins a lot, and one loses a lot, it's hard not to spread at least some of the credit to the individual.
