Because they had caused so much damage. WW I was an extremely expensive war. From the Allied viewpoint, they didn't want a war, it was forced on them by the aggression of the Central Powers (who, of course, would have had blamed the Allies if they had a chance to do so, but since the Central Powers lost the war, it wasn't up to them to decide who was to blame). Since Germany and Germany's allies caused the Allies such an enormous expense, the Allies wanted to be compensated for it. It is the same principle, but on a much larger scale, as any lawsuit seeking to recover damages. If someone breaks your window, you would like them to pay for a new window. If someone throws all of the world into chaos, you want them to pay for that, too.
