Because measurements confirm a homogeneous and isotopic universe. A spherical universe would imply a special point, the center, which would go against these cosmological principals.

Could be a universe that folds in on itself in multidimensional space so that every point looks like the center. But it almost certainly isn’t a 3d sphere.

Any non-infinite universe would imply a center point, and the cosmological principle may not be correct [1].
