Several reasons. The most important is that clouds of dust and gas between here and there block our view.

Another possible reason why we can't see stars at the center of our galaxy is that there aren't any left. We believe that supermassive black holes occupy the centers of most large galaxies including the Milky Way; there may be no stars left near the galactic center.

Why doesn't matter in space prevent us from seeing stars?

Some stars are blocked and others aren't. There are many areas that we can't see due to dust clouds or other matter floating around in space. One example would be the center of our galaxy, there is so much dust and junk between us and the center of the galaxy, we can't really see it.
