Because it's soluble in water.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is collected by downwards delivery because it is heavier than air. Almost all of our atmosphere is nitrogen (molecular mass = 28) and oxygen (molecular mass = 32), but CO2 has a molecular mass of 40.
Water freeze before ammonia. Ammonia need high pressure to freeze.
Houshold ammonia is a solution of ammonia (3%) dissolved in water.
Ammonia
Ammonia gas is highly soluble in water. one ml. of water may absorbed hundreds mls. of ammonia, the concentrated aqueous solution of ammonia is known as liquid ammonia.
Because ammonia is quite soluble in water, so that not all of the gas produced could be collected over water.

Water is the solvent. Ammonia is the solute.
There is lot of water on the earth in sea,ponds,etc. because of heating due to sunlight or other causes it is converted into steam and moves upward then after condensing it is collected in the form of clouds.
Not very efficiently, because ammonia dissolves so easily in water due to compatible intermolecular attractions between ammonia and water.
Water freeze before ammonia. Ammonia need high pressure to freeze.
water is collected in a reservoir.

Ammonia would be the solute and water would be the solvent.
