Because a diesel requires a fuel sprayed under high pressure. Compression on most diesels is over 300 PSI. Injector pressure when the fuel is sprayed can be from 1500-2500 PSI. This is why you need to be careful around diesel lines. The pressure can cut your skin or inject fuel into your body. That can cause problems.

A carb can't deliver any pressure.
