Because they are impossible to watch properly. They only broadcast a few sports that they think people will want to watch and they spend most of their time trying to hype up that chosen broadcast.

In an ideal broadcast, they are going all day long, on multiple channels, flipping through at least most of the sports, kinda like NFL Redzone. And after that day is done, by the next day they need to upload replays of everything online.

The coverage is atrocious. Every time I sat down to watch in the evenings after coming home from work, 40% of what I was watching was commercials, 40% was them artificially hyping things up, and maybe 20% of it was the actual sport. I gave up at a certain point and switched to online streams and it was significantly more enjoyable.
I'm old school when it comes to the Olympics. Track and Field, boxing, a little swimming and a little gymnastics.

It was a chore to find them and IDGAF about the backstories of 95% of the people in the other sports.
