Because we haven't gotten a way to get fuel outside earth yet (that I know of), or a solution to long travel times. As such we are practically still bound to earth, which is finite.

This is a bit of a non-issue. Expecting to be able to travel anywhere within a matter of a few dozen hours is a recent phenomenon.

If we're willing to deal with the (technologically but not politically manageable) consequences, nuclear rockets are a proven technology and can reach most of the solar system within a year's traveling time.
