Because the first century started with the year 0001. The second century started with the year 0101. The third century started with the year 0201. And so it went until the 20th century started with the year 1901 and the 21st century started with the year 2001.
It will be the final year of the 21st century.
2100 will be the last year of the 21st Century.
The year 2000 is actually the last year of the 20th century. Centuries are defined by their ordinal numbers, meaning the 21st century includes the years 2001 to 2100. The first century began in the year 1, so each century starts with a year ending in 01 and concludes with a year ending in 00. Therefore, the transition to the 21st century occurred at the start of the year 2001.
The 21st century ends with the year 2100. The next century begins with 2101. It was the same for this last turnover, but everybody celebrated at the beginning of 2000, no matter what the experts said. It's the change of the numbers that gets us excited.

the 21st century is from the year 2001 until the year 2100. When it is 2101 it will be the 22nd century.
The 21st century is referred to as such because it started in the year 2000, which is the beginning of the 21st century according to the Gregorian calendar. The numbering of centuries is based on the year in which they begin, not the ending year.
The year 2010 is in the 21st century.

2012 BCE falls within the 21st century BCE. The centuries are counted backward from the year 1 CE, so the 21st century BCE includes the years 2100 BCE to 2001 BCE. Therefore, 2012 BCE is part of that range.
