The necessary being is the prime mover. Not the being that literally moves everything. For then we wouldn't be contingent (moved and mover), but solely determined (moved).

Why can't he move everything? Considering the concept of a necessary being has been invented for the argument, we can add any attributes we want.

Because if he did, we would not be contingent beings and there would not be a chain of causation and effect, but an endless chain of effects. That means God would move everything we do, including posting on this forum.
