Because konnichiwa was originally a phrase that got shortened.
kon = this
nichi = day
WA ...desu = is...
So basically konnichiwa hare/ame desu might have been the original greeting,
meaning [today its sunny/rainy/the third day of the rat]
In sentences using the WA pattern, Japanese traditionally use ha in hiragana. English translators were simply overzealous in catching the 'w' sound that is unconsciously tagged on.
