This is because the main role of the vice-president is to be able to take over as President if necessary. A person not qualified to be President would not be able to become president and so could not fill this role.
The same as the presidents.
The constitution provides that if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the vice president becomes president. In recent years, presidents have given their vice president more responsibilities. Vice presidents must be fully inform and prepared to take over the important jobs that could be theirs.

The last time the total number of Presidents and Vice Presidents was the same was near the end of the 19th century, when McKinley was President and Hobart was Vice President. Then after Vice President Hobart died McKinley needed a new running mate. When he was reelected, Theodore Roosevelt was his new Vice President, and the number of V.P.'s then exceeded the number of Presidents by one. The difference of one remained until Franklin Roosevelt was President. He changed Vice Presidents twice (he had a total of three). So at that point, when Roosevelt started his 4th term, the total of vice presidents was three more than the total of presidents. The difference of three remained until Gerald Ford was appointed to replace Vice President Agnew, who resigned in 1973. The difference then became four, where it remains to this day (43 presidents and 47 vice presidents).
14 presidents served as vice president before becoming president

No, the official qualifications are the same, since the Vice President may become President. However, parties may not demand so much from their vice-presidential nominees as they do from their presidential candidate and voters might expect less.
