Because both of them not meet the terms to considered as a planet.

The technical reason given is: They have not cleared the regions of their orbits of other objects.

Unfortunately that's not a nice simple reason.

Pluto was only redefined from planet to "dwarf planet" in the year 2006.

The problem was that astronomers kept finding new objects in this part of space.
