First, if it's a pill, it has to dissolve in the body. Absorption through the stomach is slowed down by the mucus lining of the stomach and whatever else is already in there.
A lot of drug absorption takes place in the small intestine. Some pills are coated with a substance that stops them dissolving until they reach the small intestine. But they won't get there until the stomach pushes them into it, and the stomach leaves whatever arrives in it lying around for a while.

Why all drugs are not given through parenteral route?
Most take medications at home and do not have the training nor the equipment to do so. Only drugs designed and intended for administration via a parenteral route should be taken that way. If drugs designed to be taken orally are administered parenterally the "user" could be harmed, and the medication may work very differently than intended. In addition, most drugs are tested as orally administered medications. The way they are absorbed, how they are metabolized, and the dose and time to effect are all designed for oral administration.

Why do diabetics receive insulin subcutaneously by infection rather than orally?
[Because it gets in your system faster than having to take a pill and wait for the pill to dissolve.] Although this is probably also true, I think the main reason is that insulin is a protein molecule, which mean if you took it in pill-form your digestive system would break it down before it had a chance to be absorbed and get to work.
