Because, if they are in a small cage the Betta will stop growing. But, the organs will keep growing and the fish will die a long and painful death.

Can a betta fish live in 3 quarters of a gallon fish bowl?
Yes, but this is very cruel. All fish need room to swim and to grow and although people have successfully kept bettas in tiny containers, this doesn't mean it is right. Also, bettas are anabantoids, which means they need to breath air, so they need a decent amount of surface where they can go to breathe. if you want a betta, go for at least a 2 gallon tank - the fish will be much happier, more active and more colourful.

Can you put a goldfish in a betta fish bowl?
Only if you're ok with it dying in a few days. A goldfish needs a minimum of 10 gallons to itself, preferably 20, to allow them for room to grow as well as to account for the amount of waste they produce. They can grow fairly large and are considered messy fish, so they need room and plenty of filtering. A betta fish bowl wouldn't allow for any of those things.
