Because the switches that are used are usually on/off switches. Notice: on + off = two settings. Binary = Two digits. To get something digital and non-binary (for example, trinary) you would need a switch that can be "on", "off", and "sort of on". In addition, you wold need logic gates that support this "sort of on" setting.

Difference between binary data and digital data?

Binary data refers to data that is represented using only two possible values, typically 0 and 1. This is the fundamental language of computers, where everything is ultimately represented in binary form. On the other hand, digital data is a broader term that encompasses any data that is stored or transmitted in discrete, non-continuous values. While binary data is a specific type of digital data, digital data can also include other numeral systems like decimal or hexadecimal.
