I think, Because startup investment is regulated and not accessible to any average joe. Else, we'd be overrun with conmen trying to make a quick buck. Not that we have less of them now.

Is startup investing really regulated, or is it just your mom and dad and nobody else who have heard about your statup?

Securities are regulated, snd startups which try to collect cash from the public become securities
