because they are at the relatively perfect size for being efficient. any bigger and they would create more waste and need more nutrients, any smaller and it would cause their organelles to be inefficient. and they do get bigger in order to divide but only 2x as big to create to normal sized cells. this doesnt effect the cell because all of its organelles are duplicated as well
