Because you can predict that a slot machine will be a net profit maker for a casino without being able to predict the result of the next pull of the lever.
Of course climate models are continually updated as technology and data improves (as are the models used in structural engineering). That is how science works. Historically, though, the mainstream (IPCC) models have actually performed quite well.
