Because they are!!!!
Answer
With Biology, there is no "why". As things evolve, some of the mutations/adaptations just happen to be a certain way:
If genitalia are supposed to be sources of pleasure why do men get stuck with such funny (some girls would even say ugly) looking bits?
You could just as easily (and just as incorrectly) ask why did people design hammers, anvils and stirrups that look like parts of their ear?
People invented hammers, anvils and stirrups before we knew what the inner bones of the ear look like. The fact that they look similar is merely coincidence, but we decided to call them "hammer", "anvil" and "stirrup" because they looked that way.
Just like we call the "Big Dipper" the "Big Dipper" because it looks like... well, a Big Dipper. Its coincidence that that particular grouping of stars happens to look like a big spoon.
