A number of reasons.
There are far fewer major volcanic eruptions than there are earthquakes.
Earthquakes have no warning. Most volcanos give warning signs before a major eruption.
Earthquakes affect far larger areas, and those areas are more likely to have people living in them. Unless you are near a volcano, *and* in the path of a pyroclastic flow, a blast, or are two stupid to get out of the way of a lava flow, they are unlikely to kill you.
about 100 threw 1200 people can be killed from volcanic eruptions
Two ways that volcanic eruption can benefit people include the creation of land mass and of energy. Volcanic steam and heat can be used to produce energy.
Usually buildings get destroyed, and people get injured to killed.
The 1669 eruption of Mount Etna killed 20,000 people. The death rate was so high because citizens refused to leave their city before the eruption occurred.
There was one earthquake during the 18th-19th centuries that killed 300,000 people. It was in 1737, near Calcutta, India.
We do not know how to stop earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

Yes. People sometime die in volcano eruptions, such as the eruptions of Mt. St. He lens in Washington state in 1980. and the city of Pompeii, which was buried under ash from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. People are killed by the ash, the lava, the poison gas, the landslides, and earthquakes, and the hot temperatures that a volcanic eruption can have. Thousands of people were killed by tsunamis, (tidal waves), caused by the eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia in the Pacific Ocean.
