First, because they increase their chance of being a burden on society (giving a kidney isn't without significant risks). Same could be said of smoking or overeating, but "not" giving an organ is much easier than stopping those things.
Second, because we know exactly how this would end up. Poor people would become de facto organ factories. Many would get coerced into it. Similar to prostitution. A lot of the same arguments (both for and against) would apply.
Maybe it should be legal, but there's certainly a lot of nuance to consider.
