Because videogames are made by videogame nerds who don't know how to write a good story.
However, a big problem is that you can't just tell a story in videogames. Either you let players do what they want to do (making telling stories very difficult) or you script everything perfectly and you make the game boring. Obviously those are two extremes, but you can see how developers aren't just telling a story, they are making a game.
Honestly, I think Miyamoto does the best job telling stories. Quick, simple, and he never lets you down

I have to disagree, I think one of the only flaws left with the Mario series is they subject you to a utterly retarded story for a few minutes. The beginning and ending of SMG2 were just painfully dull and they should just cut story out of those games entirely. Would make all the Ninty fans happy because they're always talking about how story is pointless, and I won't have to sit through a children's story book before I can get to my platforming.

heh, I forgot about those games. However, I have this strange feeling he didn't write those parts as Yoshiaki Koizumi was responsible for that and Miyamoto said Mario didn't need a story.
