Because we are saying goodbye to eachother.
If people dont say goodbye in the end of a phone conversation, there can be some misundestadings about when the conversation is over.

Saying goodbye at the end of a phone call is a common courtesy that signals the conversation is ending. It is meant to be a polite way to wrap up the conversation and show respect for the other person's time. Saying "bye" or its equivalent in different languages is a way to show acknowledgment and a sense of closure.

Possibly because it started life, in the mists of history, as
"God be with you" and it got progressively shortened.
e.g. My grandmother's age group would say:-
"God bless his/her little arts and parts and everything."
Over the years I've heard it expressed as
"Oh, God bless him/her" ----->"God bless."
NOW I frequently hear the single word "Bless" MAYBE preceded by "AW"
Same as marks and Spencer became M&S
British Home Stores became B H S.
