Because they're are different words all together.
Answer:The difference between the suffix -ist and the suffix -er is based on the origin of the word (where it came from). If the word origin is from Greek or Latin the suffix -ist would be used. If the origin of the word is from Old English or Germanic then the suffix -er was used.
