Because a certain section of political beliefs want you to believe that the Founders meant it to be fluid to alter with the changing tide of opinion of the populace. And nothing could be further from the truth. This is why it is made difficult to Amend the Constitution so it isn't so easily influenced by a second of passion of the people.
Might I remind you of a quote from Madison, the original author of the Constitution; "If it, (the Constitution), is to mean whatever we want it to mean, then we should hasten the parchment to the fire."
That doesn't sound like an example of "living" to me. It sounds like it means what it says and if you want to change it, go through the process.

Why can't it be said that the Constitution is a living document?
Of course the statement "the constitution is a living document" is metaphorical, since no document is living, it's a piece of paper with writing on it. As a metaphor, this statement would suggest that the constitution remains relevant and connected to the society which it helped to establish in the late 18th century, which is a long time ago. If you think that the constitution has become irrelevant, then you would say that the constitution is not a living document. Personally I find it to still be relevant.
