Because it stings. 2019 I paid $1400 for insurance for my home, this past June I paid $2200. Same home, no massive improvements, just pay more.

Did you shop it?

Many house insurance companies give you a 10-50% new client discount, that slowly goes away year by year. The only choice is to jump ships every few years.

I have an insurance agent who shops it to every carrier. I jump around every year but it doesn't help too much because the insurance for the insurance companies are tightening their belts.

Your agent takes a cut, you may be able to save more going alone if you are willing to do the legwork.

Labor, material, and risk costs have changed though.
