Because the air is thinner there is less air for the rotors to push down on.
The long standing world record at the current times is held by aerospatiale test pilot Jean BoUlet who flew the M1-12 lamma to a height of 40,005 ft, On the same flight he also grabbed the record for longest autorotation ever in a helicopter, as the engines failed as soon as he lowered the power due to the extreme colded and lack of air into the engine.

Primary reason not to fly in cold weather is air frame icing. As rotor accumulates ice more power is required to stay aloft. At some point there isn't enough power to provide lift and the helicopter comes down. On a fixed wing icing is observable but on rotor it is not.

Why is it important for a bird to have symmetry but it is not important for a sponge?
Birds would have trouble flying if they were not symmetrical. Flight is a complicated enough process without having to adjust for differences between the right and left side of the body that is flying. Sponges, on the other hand, just remain in one place. Symmetry would not offer any particular advantage.
