Why can't exoplanets harbor life?

There is no inherent property of exoplanets that means they cannot harbor life. Some probably do harbor life. However, most exoplanets orbit too close or too far from their stars, making them too hot or too cold. A few orbit in the "habitable zone," meaning they may support liquid water and thus life, though there are other considerations that could affect the life supporting capabilities of these planets.
