Because us humans have bred them that way. Someone got a rabbit with floppy ears, thought it was cute, and decided to breed from it.
In the wild, floppy ears is no good. Reduces hearing sensitivity and increases the risk for ear infections, for both rabbits as well as floppy eared dogs. But as pets, it doesn't matter. They survive well enough anyhow.

In hot regions the rabbits long ears aide in cooling them off. Rabbits don't sweat and if they are panting they are over heated. Their blood circulates thru the big veins in their ears and is cooled by the air. To aide in cooling down an over heated bunny apply cool compresses to their ears.
