Because in Roman times their mightiest of gods was Jupiter whose Latin name began with IV and so they considered it to be an insult to reduce his name to a number and so the Romans used IIII for 4 instead of IV.
So even today this superstition still remains with us because sometimes IIII is for 4 instead of IV.
